SUPER LUSTEROUS ENGLISH LEICESTER FLEECE

This very special fleece has a lovely long staple(averages 15 cm or 6 inches) making it very suitable for the hand spinner. The fleece I am selling is unwashed as it came off the sheep. It is very clean no vegetable matter. Also very suitable for other crafts and will dye beautifully. Have photographed some dyed that I also have listed.

I am happy to answer any questions and thank you for looking.

A unique type of lustrous wool is grown to a length of 10 inches (25.5cm) in 12 months. The wool has a beautiful showy crimp, with the locks 1/2 to 1 inch (1.5 to 2.5cm in width and is much sought after by spinners, weavers, knitters and craftspeople as it is easily scoured, takes up dye readily and retains its lustre after these processes.
