Black jacob start!

Trying to play with black jacob.

So, a while ago, I bought around 1 kg of fibers. One of it is T188 Black Jacob (uncolored, unbleached) from World of wool.

This is what is called FRESH wool. It felt soft in my hands, compared to the merino from knitpicks and my first falkland sheep organic fiber. I don't feel any dryness on my hands even when I spin it continuously. I love it!

Compared to merino, i think black jacob is a bit curlier and shorter. It takes more spin to make the fibers stay and set in. But I feel like the fiber is much friendlier than merino, it doesn't break easily, even on thin yarn, so I guess the fiber is thicker than merino.

We'll see how to finish this 100 gram of jacob.
