I started on the 3:1 Tibetan Mastiff / merino blend and OMG is this nice to spin! Compared to the previous blend, drafting is so much smoother, with plenty of slip for even drafting and just enough grip to keep the fibers in contact along the way, perfect for long draw drafting.
Now I'm wondering if I should blend up something with even less wool, like 10-15%, for comparison. At what point do you lose the benefit of grip from the wool?
This is about half the 60g of fiber that I'd blended at this ratio.

#TourDeFleece Stage #6 Finished the 3:1 TM/merino singles. I have some plying I can do, but it looks like I'll need to do some fiber prep before I can spin singles again! #TourDeFleece2026
