English Leicester - Natural White

Micron 38-40, Staple length approx. 17.5 cm (7 inches).
A beautiful high lustre wool with a well defined crimp ideal for medium to thick yarns.

Washed. Available in 200 gram bags or 1 kg packs (1kg packs are by special order and require 10-15 days for delivery).

Ideas for Use:

• Spinning - Open the fibre 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 other colours.
  
• Weaving - Use the beautiful shiney staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics. Handknot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings.

*The sheep are well cared for and are not mulesed.
