There are still textile mills and labs in NC! I am sometimes the recipient of windfalls--"mill end" fibers mostly. This is a stock dyed brown sliver that was sent to a lab for spinning trials. It is a blend of recycled cotton and regular cotton, percentages unknown. I think the spinning trials failed, that's why it was offered to me...
And as you know, a handspinner can spin dryer lint if she really wants to. This is much longer than dryer lint, and easy to spin. I'm putting it up in 12 ounce packages so I can send it in a plastic bag for first class postage. See it here or click on the image above.
