Corriedale Sliver Pack - 7 Colour
$19.00
Unit price perCorriedale wool has a defined, even crimp and is smooth and easy to spin or felt. You can spin a fine to medium woolen, worsted or semi-worsted yarn. Corriedale will bulk after washing and has good elasticity. It is ideal for baby wear, woven, knitted or crocheted garments.
Ashford Corriedale sliver is a 100% New Zealand product with wool from pasture-fed sheep. These farmers have worked the land for generations. They take great pride in the quality of their wool and the high standard of animal husbandry. The sheep are well cared for and are not mulesed.
After the sheep are shorn, on the farm, the wool is carefully skirted and checked. Only wool that is sound, clean with good fiber length, bulk and color is selected. It is sent to a boutique New Zealand mill to be dyed, carded and combed.
The wool is then scoured (washed) using an environmentally-friendly, biodegradable detergent. The next step is drying and dyeing. The dyes comply with the strict EU regulations ensuring that garments made from the sliver can be certified under the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This standard is the most widely known standard for certification of ecologically-safe clothing. (Detailed information can be found at www.oekotex.com). The fibrer is then gently opened and conditioned. Carding machines align the fibers and remove any foreign matter. Finally, it is gilled, combed and delivered to you!
