    Marina Skua's Skua Blend is a custom blend of naturally colored British sheep breeds, designed for a wonderfully easy and delightful spinning experience.

    The Skua blend combines Dorset Horn, Teeswater, Manx Loaghtan, Jacobs and Cheviot and is created by Wingham Wool Work in Gloucesterhire, UK.

    It is then hand-dyed by Marina in her studio in Wiltshire, UK, before being fluffed and smoothed by hand for easy spinning. Read more about the creation of Marina Skua's custom blend in this blog post.

    This blend is fabulous for new and experienced spinners alike, works well on wheels and spindles, and can also be used for felting

    The fiber braid arrived beautifully packaged and it's spinning up so easily. Saturated colors that will make gorgeous yarn.
