The fiber is natural Romney purchased long before Georgia came to live with me. Some was spun on my drop spindle, and is still there (I should check and see how it is doing).
This is over spun a bit and has little twisty pieces here and there. Other than the Alpaca, this is the only other hand spun I've produced-so far.
This kool-aid dye recipe is where I began.
