Corriedale is a versatile wool with a good crimp and a soft handle. It is excellent for needle felting, as has a springy texture that is gentle on the needles.
Sliver is processed in a way that gives it more texture. This makes it easier to felt, and can make it easier for beginner drop spindle spinners to draft.
Compliance: Oeko-Tex 100, EN71-3:2019+A1:2021
Sold in 100g bags.

About the breed
In New Zealand and Australia, from about 1870 to about 1910, farmers worked to develop a sheep breed that would produce a long staple wool, could thrive in low-rainfall conditions, and would also be economically viable as a meat sheep. Their result was the Corriedale, a large, docile, hornless sheep who was essentially a cross between Merino (the softest sheep), with Lincoln (who grow glossy, long wool).
