Beorn’s Bees, on Spindelicious Classic: 100% Corriedale

Beorn was a Northman in LOTR. a skin-changer, and chieftain of the Beornings who lived near the river Anduin between Mirkwood and the Misty Mountains. This color palette was inspired by his beeping and crazy red beard depicted in an icon.

A classic handspinners wool! Corriedale is a lovely, go-to medium-fine wool that is a cross of Lincoln and Merino breeds, which means a longer staple length, and (attention new handspinners!) is a breeze to spin. Next to BFL it’s my favorite fiber to learn to spin on, it’s an all-purpose wool and it can be used for all the typical wooly wearing garments: mittens, scarves, sweaters. The finished yarn has a lovely bounce and a slight sheen.

Spinning tip: 👉 Corriedale has a great crimp that lends loft and elasticity to the finished yarn, so spin it a bit finer than you normally would to allow for some bloom and poof.
