This one is apparently the pet of the Yule Lads, which were mentioned in last years fibre calendar on Day 4. All the information can be found in the first photo and if you click on the photo you can zoom in if you need to.
I'm guessing that this is another bag design that isn't matched to the story specifically.
I have undone the tightly wrapped little bundles and made them into braids to take any pressures off the fibres and also so that I can see the colours properly and feel the texture too. I like the colour of this one but not the feel. The Icelandic is pretty coarse but I do have a large chunk of what I believe is black Corriedale that was in a mixed bag of fibres and I have the two colours of bamboo that was used to make this shade of green so I might be able to re-create something similar to this and then pre-draft and spin them together. This would up the softness of it by diluting the Icelandic content.
