I really love dual coated fleece. They are tricky to process and spin. You don’t want to just spin the long fibers and have a bunch of short stuff left. And you always wind up with clumps of the short stuff that won’t draft out. It’s never smooth and always a bit hairy.
This is a nice dual coated moorit Shetland fleece from Lost Acres Farm on Etsy.
It will be another hap. I also have some darker moorit to use. Way back when we were leaving California, I knit Jeffrey a sweater from some Norwegian wool. It was 4 ply moorit with the lanolin still in it. I always loved that yarn and it’s probably why I don’t care for yarn from fine fibers. It would probably be worthwhile to try and replicate it.
