Coopworth is a lovely long fiber I have had a lot of experience with. After seeing this lovely fiber at Fiber Frolic last year, I had a coopworth jag. Similar to knitting jag, in that I couldn’t get enough coopworth. I bought about 5 fleeces for the blending with other fibers. It scours pretty easily and dries quickly.
Coopworth dyes beautifully. The staple is wonderful to work with and great for combing. I’ve also used it blended on the drum carder with other fibers.
Here are some items I’ve used coopworth in from the store.
Really Red Coopworth Top
Pipevine Swallowtail
Both these items and many more are available in the Etsy Store.
