Presenting "Northern Lights" Shropshire Lambs wool spinning fibre from the rare breed of sheep organically grown in the heart of England, this is extra special wool tops taken from the hoggets lamb first clippings, soooo fine, wonderfully springy, a little goes a very long way, very easy to spin and handle fibre. Will felt spectacularly well using wet or needle felting techniques.

approx 110g of luxury, one continuous length delivered as a braid with a small little silver heart charm keepsake attached as a thank you for choosing our fibres.

naturally dyed with hand painted layering techniques using a range of natural dyes from an unusual combination of ingredients including dandelion roots and flower heads, cochineal, crushed grass and cream soda giving a wonderfully colourful blended fibre full of magical hues : pink, pale brown, turquoise aqua blue, greeny yellow and lime throughout very difficult to describe this one! one of a kind blends are created by my own speciality method of natural dyeing which takes up to five days to achieve so all are unique one of a kind fibres.

Extremely challenging to photograph, all pictures are taken in natural daylight but it is still impossible to capture the true beauty of each length of fibre in a photo, there are lots of hues and variation throughout so these really must be seen and handled to be truly appreciated as the photos simply do not do the fibre justice.

All computer monitors or laptop screens display colours differently, I have done my best to give a true representation of the colours so please keep in mind that your screen may be displaying the tones slightly differently to mine.

Only natural dyes produced directly from plants, flowers, herbs, spices, roots and other items usually found on the grocery aisle of the supermarket are used in my designs, no harsh chemicals or irritants are in any of my products so they are kind to your delicate skin and our environment.

Everything is colourfast and has been washed of dye residue, however, it is advisable to wash your finished item once by itself just in case there is a small trace amount of dye excess left in the fibre. Store out of direct sunlight.
