Presenting "Sixth Sense" Shropshire Lambs wool spinning fibre from the rare breed of sheep organically grown in the heart of England, these are 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 120g 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 then hand painted with layering techniques using a range of natural dyes developed from an unusual combination of ingredients in our kitchen and garden : dried flower heads, crushed fresh herbs, vegetables, various roots and other unusual ingredients giving beautiful tones and subtle hues throughout, one of a kind blends are created by my own speciality method of dyeing which takes from five to ten days to achieve, all are completely unique one of a kind fibres impossible to repeat.

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

Everything is colourfast and has been washed of main 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.
