This first one is from A Star is Shorn. It is called a Starsheep Braid in the colorway Thunderclouds. This is 60/40 Polwarth/Silk and is 3.1 oz. This looks like it would be wonderful to spin. Personally, I love wool and silk blends for spinning fine.
It's so soft, and it's not felted at all. You're going to love working with these fibers.
