These locks come from our White faced Leicester Longwool ewes which we mainly keep for their fleeces though we breed from them too every few years. The fleeces are scoured and hand washed using an eco friendly detergent.  I then hand dye them. The locks are in a relatively processed state, meaning I have separated the locks, still preserving a lot of its curly structure. 
 
The locks are fantastic for spinning art yarns but also and wet and needle felting to name but a few.  I also use them in weaving. The lengths of the locks vary from 6 at rest to 9  inches when stretched out
