West Coast Colour...

This was my prize from Team Canada 
on the TDF2015.

The colourway name is:   P.M.S.
65% Polwarth, 10% Silk, 25% Yearling Mohair.
100grams

It's an absolute soft delight to spin never a dull moment while the colours keep changing and it's keeping you spinning.
This was so much fun to spin.

I have opted for  Navajo plying for this beautiful yarn.
I like this resulting skein, it was a real pleasure working this top.
I would love to buy some more in the future.
I did check the website it's under construction so I guess it would be easier
to contact her directly on Ravelry:   Sheepkeeper.
Thanks for the wonderful prize.

Mill Membership

I'm a mill member at John Arbon Textiles
 My membership spinner package,
Mini skein (knit by number), card/needle gauge, 2 buttons, 200g top
and a cute project bag.
This top included is absolutely fantastic.
200g Top
Captain PolD'arles
80% Organically Farmed Polwarth
10% Merino D'arles driftwood
10% Merino D'arles chestnut

This top is simply amazing soft and bouncy processed to perfection, no nepps.
It's pure pleasure to spin this fiber.

The natural colours are gorgeous.
The resulting yarn is beautiful.

212 grams, 2 plies, 992 yards of bouncy soft yarn.
This was delight, I can recommend this mill for their great tops, way better than the most well known large companies tops I have spun so far.
This is my own opinion and this is not a sponsored post.
