English Leicester Rainbow Locks

English Leicester Rainbow Locks

$16.00

A beautiful high luster wool with a well defined crimp ideal for medium to thick yarns.

100g 3.5 ounces

Hand Dyed: Primary colors Red, Blue & Yellow. Mixture of these 3 different shades results in a rainbow of colors. (Picture is example - Colors and Shades Vary)

Ideas for Use:
- Separate into individual groups of color.
- Spinning - Open the fiber out and spin a soft single thread. Ply with a fine cotton, silk or commercial woolen 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 shiny staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics. Hand knot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings.
- Felting - Use the colored staples as surface decoration. They look fantastic lightly felted into the surface of a natural color felt.

From Ashford in New Zealand.

Micron 38-40, Staple length approx. 17.5cm (7ins).

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