I'm not linked to World of Wool in any way, I just really got into spinning this year, and I want to share my love of the advent calendar.
Day One: Tannenbaum; 80% Merino, 20% Trilobal Nylon
This has been on my wishlist for a while, I'm so happy to have it now. It's a beautiful blend of green and sparkle. Trilobal nylon is a truly synthetic fibre, often also called polyamide. It has a beautiful sparkle from the three sided cross section of the fibre. The merino comes from the merino sheep, one of the softest and finest wools.
The Tannenbaum blend is beautiful. The rich emerald green of the merino goes beautifully with the greens and golds of the nylon. I'm very excited to spin this, I think it'd make a beautiful set of winter mittens.
If you want to see pictures of the fibre, my spinning of it, or what I'll eventually make from it, be sure to join my Discord server, as linked above.
Happy December!
