The next fibre is actually from a different seller on Etsy! This Eider braid came from Ewenique Fibres. This is not a breed I had heard of before so I was eager to try it!
The colours are beautiful! :o) The braid is a lot denser than the other I’ve been working with recently. Pre-drafting took a bit more effort than I expected thanks to the compacted fibres.
Once I’d done the prep work it was a very nice easy spin. The fibre is reasonably soft too :o)
Working on the blending board with the more compact fibres was again a little challenging, but didn’t hinder my rolag making too much!
There’s not a great deal of variance in the colours to split them up across the board – I tried to get the lighter colours on one side and the bluer ones at the other side, which you can kind of see.
I didn’t manage to line up my colours so well with these, but the finished yarn is still pretty :o) My consistency is getting better with the woolen techniques, slowly!
