A beautiful high luster wool with a well defined crimp ideal for medium to thick yarns. These locks have been scoured only. Give a light wash and they are ready to use in many different craft applications such as handspinning, carding, combing, felting, weaving, knitting, and more!
Micron count - 38-40
Staple length - 6-8 inches
Ideas for Use:
- Separate into individual groups of colour.
- Spinning - Open the fiber out and spin a soft single thread. Ply with a fine cotton, silk or commercial woollen thread to strengthen the yarn for knitting. The fine thread will be almost hidden in the yarn and won't obscure the fabulous colors.
- Weaving - Use the beautiful shiney staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics. Handknot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings.
- Felting - Use the coloured staples as surface decoration. They look fantastic lightly felted into the surface of a natural colour felt.
*The sheep are well cared for and are not mulesed.
