90S 17-18 Microns Extra Fine Long Staple Wool Top

This 90S extra fine wool top is a premium combed sliver prepared from exceptionally long and uniform fibers, offering a refined handfeel and remarkable softness. With an estimated micron range around 17–18 microns and a fiber length of approximately 3.1–3.5 inches, this wool represents the upper tier of fine spinning fiber.

Handspinning Suitability

This fiber can be handspun, but is best suited for experienced spinners:

• Best for: advanced or confident handspinners

• Recommended yarn weights: lace, cobweb, very fine fingering

• Preferred technique: worsted-style spinning, short draw with light tension

The long staple length supports strong, even yarns, while the fine diameter rewards careful drafting and steady control.

Not Ideal For

• Beginners learning basic drafting techniques

• Woolen-style spinning that relies on shorter, loftier fibers

Because of its fineness and smooth preparation, this wool requires patience and sensitivity during spinning.

Fiber Characteristics

• Extremely fine micron count for next-to-skin softness

• Long fibers for strength, clarity, and reduced fuzz

• Low short-fiber content, helping produce clean, elegant yarns

• Typical moisture regain of 13–18%, enhancing breathability and comfort

This wool top is also well suited for luxury blends with silk, cashmere, or mohair, adding structure while preserving delicacy.

Important Notes

• Supplied as combed wool top (sliver)

• Simply packaged, includes a label

• Fiber may be supplied in multiple lengths rather than a single continuous piece; continuity is not guaranteed

Curated for those who value precision, restraint, and material integrity.
