On offer some fabulous Welsh Lleyn Wool Rovings. Mill washed and carded.
Soft and lofty - ideal for spinning, peg loom weaving, felting and much more. Supplied as 100g
Lleyn wool—from the native Welsh breed on the Llŷn Peninsula—is a versatile, springy fiber. Crafters and commercial spinners favor it for its excellent stitch definition, natural bounce, and ease of dyeing.
Key characteristics of Lleyn:
- Fibre Fineness: Ranges between 26 and 33 microns, placing it in the medium-soft range.
- Staple Length: Averages 6 to 12 cm (2.5 to 5 inches), making it highly manageable for hand-spinning.
- Texture & Crimp: Possesses moderate crimp, providing a lofty, airy character with natural elasticity.
- Colour: Features a pure, creamy-white fleece free from kemp (coarse, brittle fibers) or dark hair, which makes it ideal for consistent dyeing.
- Durability: Highly durable and resilient ("squidgy"), making it excellent for outer garments like sweaters, socks, and hats that require longevity.
- Craft Versatility: Highly regarded for colour work, cables, and structured garments. It felts well and yields a strong, sturdy finished material
