Last year a fellow spinner from AZ. bought Yahzeee's wool. She is separating the outer coat from the soft inner coat and dying the white fibers as well. Here's a copy of the e-mail sharing her project:
Hello Cindy,
The churro is amazing. The best way I found to separate the fibers is to use combs. The longer white fibers come out beautifully leaving the softer gray fiber behind. You can control the shade of grays by how much white you leave in.
I am using the courser white hairs for weaving a rug. And I haven't started the shawl yet. Life has a way of getting in my way as I know you can relate to.
You can see all the values you can get from these samplings.
And the white takes color well.
