This gorgeousness is mink fiber from Plum Crazy Fiber Art. I did a little research to learn about how mink is collected. It's much like angora in that the fiber is combed.
This is a natural brown, soft fawn color. You won't believe how soft this fiber is. For 1/2 ounce there's quite a bit here. I think this would be best blended into a longer stapled soft wool. I think I would blend it with Cormo. Maybe a nice deep green cormo carded together with this amazing mink fiber.
I found a lighter off white color in her shop as well. I think I will need to go shopping soon...
