every time i hear someone say corriedale isn't as soft as merino, I always want to make them feel a corriedale fleece. On average, yes, the corriedale has a less fine fleece than merino, but the range is much more vast in micron count, and i personally have come across more than 1 whole corriedale fleece that is just as soft as any merino i've ever spun, indeed softer than a naturally coloured merino fleece i actually have in my stash. on the whole good information though, because if people buy corriedale expecting the same softness as merino there is a chance of disappointment for sure.

This was great. It would be great to know a bit more about what breeds' fleeces go into commercial big brand yarns where they aren't identified as being merino, IE it says something like 100% wool.

It wasn't Corriedale that made me fall in love with spinning, but a brown Californian Jacob roving. It's my favorite spin to date ❤

These are my favorite topics, bring on the breed studies! Thanks for sharing!

As a new spinner, I’m soaking up everything I can about the qualities of different fibers, in a way I never bothered to as a knitter. So this was timely and interesting, thanks.

Wow thanks Tayler. I’ve read the Knitters Book of Wool and loved it. But having your overview of the eight different breeds of sheep and their characteristics was so helpful for picking yarn for a specific project. The teacher in you shines bright in podcasts like tonight’s. That’s a compliment from one former teacher to another.💕. Iris

I love how in depth you go with these videos. On the internet in general, there’s so much surface level information on any topic, less intermediate-level info, and very little expert level information. I’ve been knitting for 22 years and while I understand the difference between merino, cashmere, alpaca, and natural wool with lanolin, I haven’t heard of some of these other breeds—so thank you for breaking it down for us! You’re awesome.

I can be sensitive to texture and some wools don't bother me and some really do so I was worried about ordering wool yarn online, but through feeling around at different LYS's I've realized that merino and BFL are safe bets for me, though BFL is my favorite so if I was going to knit a full wool sweater that'd be my go to! Having to learn what works and what doesn't by breed was defiantly an interesting experiment over time!

Love, love, love this subject matter! The more I knit, the more interested I become in the rustic wools and I love the history behind them. The more educated we are about our fiber choices, the more pleased we will be with our finished creations. Would love a part two with even more info on other breeds and the wool they produce. Very informative and educational. You are such a pleasure to watch and I am so thankful for your channel and many others. It’s great therapy!!❤️❤️

I recently started raising Shetland sheep. I fell in love with them when I was researching the best sheep to bring to our farm. Easy to handle , delightful personalities and relatively small compared to merino. We will shear them in June and I would love to send you some samples .

FYI: The Knitter's Book of Wool is out of print. But it is worth it to track it down. I use it often as a reference book.

The "teacher" has done it again. The P&P. Prepared and presented great content. Thanks for sharing.

Utterly fascinating Taylor……brilliant ramble 🎉❤

Just watched over breakfast without my knitting. Just love listening to you Tayler!

Great info! I can highly recommend the book Vanishing Fleece by Clara Parkes. She’s an excellent writer! In this book she takes us a journey to see how wool becomes yarn! ❤️👍🧶🧶🧶

Was pleasantly surprised to hear the Jacob mentioned! I bought some natural-colored Jacob yarn from a local-to-me farmer in North Carolina and it is beautiful! A heathered gray with a slight brown tint! I've swatched with it, but haven't yet decided on the perfect project for it yet. 😊

I would recommend getting a copy of the Fleece and Fibre Field Guide that accompanies Deb. Robson's book. It is the best, affordable and carriable.

Thanks for the great information. Because of spinning, I thought I’d read a lot about fleece but I just heard a lot of valuable stuff. Thanks for continuing your teaching career. You’re a natural.

That was amazing!🐑🤍🐏

Fact Correction: Merino sheep were gifted to Thomas Jefferson in 1805. 1840 represents the date the population of Merino sheep peaked in the US. Today we're exploring eight different sheep breeds you're likely to see on yarn labels. My goal with this is to provide a little additional background on each of these breeds as it relates to the yarn characteristics. This is a brief sampling and not an exhaustive list. The video moves along at a good clip intentionally and the music is there to add a jaunty vibe. Just like I like my vibes. 😉 Thank you for watching! ❤ Tayler
