These colors are dyed on 100% polwarth wool roving, my personal favorite for spinning. Polwarth is an Australian breed originating in the late 1800s, this offshoot of merino is well-loved by many handspinners. Polwarth has a fine thickness of of 22-25 microns and features a long, luxurious staple length with a silky feel. It spins beautifully and can be used to make very fine yarns.

All colors are hand dyed by me, using professional textile dyes and thoroughly washed to remove any excess dye. While similar colors may appear across multiple braids over time no effort is made to precisely recreate colors and combinations. Only braids available in multiples at one time will ever match exactly.

I have done my best to capture colors accurately in my photos, but monitor settings and lighting may make them appear slightly different in person. In particular, teal and turquoise shades are often more saturated in person than they seem in photos. Some braids may include UV reactive colors.
