Description
The technique of spinning wool by hand – and sometimes foot – is thousands of years old. The skill and sensitivity of the spinner’s hands shapes the yarn. Handspun wool exposes more of the wool to dye and is more luxurious to the touch. Good carpet wool combines softness with strength. The best wool comes from lambs between 8 and 14 months old, particularly those from colder highland regions.
