Corriedale Wool Top | Shell
Corriedale Wool Top | Shell
DHG’s Corriedale wool top is an all-purpose fibre, perfect for when colour palette and price are front of mind.
Known for its spinnability and delightful bouncy texture, Corriedale wool is steadily becoming a favourite amongst textile crafters.
An ideal choice for new spinners, it’s not-to-short staple length (78-80mm) allows for laidback spinning and easy fibre management.
And although not ultra-fine at 27 microns, the fibres are still soft to the touch making it ideal for yarns destined to become a range of hand-worked garments.

ABOUT WOOL TOPS
Wool tops are a commercially prepared wool product in which the wool fibres undergo a mechanical combing process to straighten and align the fibres.
The result is an extremely smooth, silky fibre preparation favoured by hand spinners and textile artists.
Use wool top for hand-spinning, weaving, needle and wet felting, giant knitting and a myriad of textile art projects.
FINISHING
To block or wash your piece, prepare a bath of tepid water and if desired add a few drops of mild detergent or wool wash. Immerse the piece and soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Lift the piece from the water and allow to drain. Gently remove excess water by pressing the fabric between layers of a dry towel. Lay flat to dry.
