English Leicester Tops and Locks
My English Leicester lamb locks are grown and sourced from Melton Park in Tasmania.
Typically the fibres are 32-38 microns Hand dyed here in my studio in Tasmania using Australian made dyes. These curly wool lamb locks and beautiful and easy to use.
English Leicester is suitable for spinning durable sweaters, cardigans, vest etc. It is ideal for Aran style knitting with cables and twists accentuated by the lovely lustre for which English Leicester fibre is renown. If spun semi worsted and finely, it will suit lace weight shawls and wraps.
