Finished Finnish ~

My experience with the Finnish wool fiber has been great. The fibers spins well and the yarn turned out to be lovely, however not next-to-the-skin soft, but not pokey. Does that make sense? I would not knit a cowl for next to my neck out of this yarn, but certainly it could be worn over a turtleneck or shirt.
So happy to be spinning fibers that are new to me and stretching my knowledge and experience of spinning. There is such joy in this spinning I am doing, plus that mystery solving of, "What will this yarn look and feel like?" each time the plying (and soaking) is done!
I think I will be getting more new-to-me-sheep fiber from our local Woolgatherings, as they have a good selection and I love their fibers!
