Details
A Spinner's DREAM! Perfect for both beginners and advanced spinners, our Blue Faced Leicester Top in Oatmeal is a versatile and luxurious fiber that inspires creativity.
This English Longwool breed, developed from the Border Leicester in the early 18th century, offers a staple length of 3-6 inches (85-90mm), making it incredibly easy to spin, this fiber practically spins itself!
Despite its hearty 26 micron count, the wool is surprisingly soft and buttery to the touch. The long, curly, and lustrous fibers create a finished yarn with beautiful drape and natural shine. Known for its strength, curl, and crimp, this fiber soaks up dye brilliantly, allowing you to craft vibrant, richly colored projects.
Key Features:
- Micron Count: 26 microns

- Top/Roving Length: 4 meters per 100g
