6 skeins of handspun yarn, all from the Melly Knits Delightful advent. All are 2-ply fingering, with skein weights around 50g and yardages ranging from 208-261 yards. The format of the advent was one day with a fine wool, and the second the fine wool blended with 20% of a specialty fiber. From left to right: 1: a cool brown Cormo, specialty fiber of bison down 2: champagne colored Corriedale, specialty fiber angora (as in rabbit) 3: dark almost black Haunui, specialty fiber Nubora goat (a cross-breed of a Nubian goat and an angora goat) 4: caramel colored Merino, specialty fiber golden muga silk 5: light cool grey Jacob, specialty fiber fox fur (shed fur from a sanctuary) 6: reddish brown Bond, specialty fiber paco-vicuña
