A natural coloured, undyed British wool fibre, this pale creamy white Bluefaced Leicester wool top has an exceptionally fine lofty handle and is the most valuable of British wools. It has a good grab quality and will not slide apart when drafted onto the spindle. The white Bluefaced Leicester wool tops provide felt makers with a natural coloured fibre for felt making and needle felting.
Spin this valued British wool into a lustrous and almost silky yarn before dyeing the hanks with either Acid dyes, natural dyes or indigo. Of course this lovely natural fibre doesn’t need dyeing if you like the colour just the way it is! The fibre ideal for hand spinning yarns for shawls, sweaters etc. Experiment by blending with other wool fibres or silk fibres to create special handspun yarns.
This 100% wool roving has a Micron Count of 24-28 (Bradford count 56s-60s) and a staple length of 85-90mm.
