Originally and organically cruelty-free sourced from Australian and New Zealand sheep. This reliable multipurpose wool is a pleasure to spin, knit, crochet, weave or felt. Durable with significant loft and distinctive crimp, corriedale wool is the optimal wool choice for sweaters, socks, blankets and other household textiles. The Corriedale sheep is a mix of Merino and Lincoln breeds and the wool produces an excellent fiber quality for quick felting.

Corriedale wool is popular among fiber artists and crafters of all stripes. It is a medium fiber with a width of around 25-30 microns, and with a relatively good staple length of between 3-5 inches. It has a very well-defined crimp, and while difficult to spin fine, it makes a wonderfully bouncy DK or heavier weight yarn. Its medium fiber means that not everyone will be comfortable wearing it directly against skin, but it makes superior outerwear, hat, gloves, rugs, and other housewares. While felters love it for its ability to easily felt, knitters, weaver and crocheters will love it for its grippy-ness; colorwork and weaving done with Corriedale won’t slip around or become loose.
