Chilean White Breed Study Update

Colours: White 

Feel in hand: Nice and squishy soft like a merino.

Fibre prep: Ill spin as it comes from the fiber.

Smell: Similar smell to the Teeswater sheep smell. Clean and not overbearing hardly smells sheepy.

Fibre uses: Anything I guess as its soft enough for next to skin wear.

Historical Facts: "Chilean white sheep aren't a single distinct breed but typically refer to standard European sheep (like Merinos or Dorsets) common in Chilean Patagonia and the Chiloé Archipelago, known for their white wool, vital to local farming, with the native Chilota sheep being a unique, ancient breed from Chiloé that also features white variations."

Next to skin feel: Feels good Nice and soft

Fibre Lustor: Probably the same as Merino and Dorsets.

Staple length: 3" to 5"

Microns: 20 to 26

Chilean White spun yarn details: 

Spun on my Kromski Sonata - using the whorl size 10 to 1

I plyed from center pull ball 

worsted (8-9 WPI)

39.6 meters

This is probably the softest yarn spun so far. It feels amazing.

Plying shows a definite pretty twist in the plyed yarn

A beautiful sheen but not overly bright sheen.

If I hold it near my face and neck I feel the teeny tiniest prickle.

Would I buy this fibre again..  Definite Yes

Would I knit with it.. Yes and I think its soft enough for baby knits. I think beanies, socks, shawls, scarves, sweaters and whatever else you'd like to knit it into.
