I was sent a cone of this wool as a sample from a producer. Cheryl wove a scarf sample and we took it to a friend who is a BFL (Blue Face Leicester) sheep grower/ breeder. Susanna fell in love with this wool; it is soft but strong enough to be used as warp. I am offering this to you at a special onetime price.

Since I cannot control the conditions of use, washing, cleaning or pressing the purchaser should assure them self by testing that the dye fastness of the yarn is suitable for their intended use.

Michael. Not sure if you can answer this but how do you think this wool would do as a tapestry yarn? The colors are great! Thanks, Cathie

Cheryl just handed me a sample of DMC Lane(wool) Tapisserie yarn. What i have is heavier weight but it is just as soft. That said most of this yarn has been sold.  What I have left is. #47(3), #54(6), #187(7), #40(10), #204(2), #252(3), #249(8) and natural skeins. What my customers have learned is when I put something on sale you better act quick or it all will be gone.
