Finnsheep are considered a primitive breed and a European landrace. While they are not a Longwool, their fiber still has a fantastic luster and what we would consider an overall suppleness. It is squishy but isn't dense. Finnsheep wool is a medium wool and this lot is a mix of one shepherd's entire clip, organized, sorted, and blended by color. It is a mix of adult and lamb fleeces so it may be somewhat softer to the average Finn you find elsewhere. Many people find that even as a medium wool it is next to skin soft. It almost feels like a Romney-Merino mix, that's the best way I can describe Finn in more common breeds. This clip comes from a farm in Lewiston, ID and has light to medium VM depending on the Colorway, although most pieces are larger and fall out during spinning easily. Finn has a slightly longer average staple, we have spun it both worsted and woolen, it stands up well to both. Choose a drafting style that fits your finished yarn goals and enjoy your Finn!
