               Lincoln Combed Top

               Beautiful and very lustrous, this sparkling, clean top is very easy to spin.  It has a

               long staple length and is wonderful for doll hair and for felting projects.  Lincoln dyes quite

               easily and is great to use in blending.  Lincoln makes a very durable yarn, and can be used in

               socks and rugs when spun with lots of twist.   $22.00/lb

              Coopworth Rovings

              Available in four natural shades, Coopworth is another wonderful fiber for socks and mittens. 

              It blends very well and has lots of luster.  The long staple length makes it great for beginning

              spinners and we use it here at the shop to teach handspinning.  The woolen preparation makes

              a warm, lofty yarn.    $26.00/lb

             Exotic Fibers

             The fibers in this section are all prepared as combed tops.  This is the finest preparation

              available.  After fibers have been carded into roving, they are further processed by wool

              combing, removing any remaining vegetable matter and aligning fibers for worsted spinning. 

             Most are very fine and lustrous.  Theses tops can be more difficult to spin from the tips as a

             worsted.  For more control, try drafting from the side of the top.
