Corriedale is a medium wool that is a fascinating cross between Lincoln and merino breeds, combining the best traits of both. It features a longer staple length of 4-5 inches, providing the strength characteristic of Lincoln while offering a softness that comes from its merino heritage. This delightful fiber is an excellent choice for beginning spinners, as it allows them to learn and practice controlling their drafting speed and achieving the desired thinness. Furthermore, Corriedale yarn produces wonderfully durable socks, stylish outerwear, and impressive felting projects that stand the test of time.
