Lincoln Longwool * SE2SE * Raw Wool * Rare Sheep Breed * Latte

Staple:  average 5" un-streached          VM:  Almost None     Crimp: Curly Waves

"Latte" produced this beautiful fleece, the darkest in the field.  The locks are curly and lustrous, ranging from dark grey to dark brown.  This fleece has an unusual handle, course but silky.  

These locks will spin into a fantastic textural yarn or comb them to spin a strong durable yarn.  You can also use this wool for wet felting, needle felting, rug making, and other arts and crafts.

I washed a sample in Unicorn Power Scour and the low lanolin content was easily removed.

This raw, unwashed fleece you can scour yourself.  If you prefer clean, washed wool please see the category: Washed Wool

***I photograph the fleece in bright sunshine to try to get the most accurate color replication.
