About East Friesian Wool

The wool from the East Friesian breed can be somewhat variable, but many would describe it as a more rustic wool with more coarseness than other fine or medium type wools.  The breed is generally white, but can also be a beautiful dark brown/black and sometimes you will even find sheep that are white with spots (some have compared them to holstein cow of the sheep industry).

This yarn would be best suited to outerwear - jackets, vests, legwarmers and perhaps mittens or even a hat if lined with something more fine. It would make a great blanket to use while having a picnic or perhaps a winter campfire!
