Merino/Tencel blends are lovely for spinning. They are soft with a bit of sparkle. They make silky yarns which have a wonderful drape when knit. My rovings are dyed with professional washfast acid dyes. Please note that this fiber is superwash so it is not for felting projects. Also, though it is theoretically machine washable, please treat with care--it never hurts to hand wash and air dry.
