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.

"Sunbaked", this special edition colorway, was developed by Marina for our handmade Winter Box 2024. It's exclusive to us, and oh so sweet! Glimpses of peach and apricot meet raspberry on a delicious naturally multicolored base. Fabulous for hats, mittens and shawls!

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

Why we love this Spinning fiber:

Marina was the first spinning fiber dyer I went to after I purchased my spinning wheel. She's been spinning for seemingly forever, and is incredibly knowledgeable about sheep breeds, fiber processing, and spinning.

She took all of this knowledge, and created her custom "Skua" blend in cooperation with Wingham Wool work, aiming for a spinning fiber that was delightful to work with and had a slightly rustic finish.

Marina's knowledge of spinning, her tireless quest for the best fibers to integrate into this blend (by hand-carding and sample spinning lots of different ones), and her in-depth experience of hand-dyeing all work together in this wonderful spinning fiber: It's a dream to spin (really, I can't get enough of it), both for beginners and more experienced spinners, and the colors are incredibly nuanced.
