The bulk of the fleeces come from my friend’s flock of Lleyn sheep which roams the rolling Shropshire hills along with Texel and Suffolk sheep. The fleeces were processed and spun at the Natural Fibre Company in Cornwall and the yarn hand dyed by me in Yorkshire with natural dyes. The yarn is lofty and bouncy and warm, it will make great shawls, hats, gloves and scarves. There are currently six dyed colours along with the natural yarn.
