Blending Coopworth and Merino/Tussah

This summer I rediscovered my love for blending on a drum carder. One combination in particular that I found myself fascinated by was blending Coopworth wool with our 80/20 Merino/Tussah. The textures of the Coopworth and Merino/Tussah balance each other nicely - the bounce of the Coopworth brings body to the mix while the Merino/Tussah softens the feel and adds a bit of drape without going limp.
