Hand dyed Wensleydale locks with Indigo Dye

Wensleydale sheep is an “at risk” endangered British breed.  The fleece is known for its luster and extra  long curly locks.   This fleece is from a small farmer in the United Kingdom. I work with the raw Wensleydale fleece, hand pulling each lock.  The locks are washed and then hand dyed in small butches, so each bundle is unique and different in colour.

The average staple length is 8 inches.

You can use the  locks for used to weaving, spinning, felting or doll hair.

Each bundle weight 1 oz. or 28

I vacuum seal products to save on shipping costs. Photographs are taken in natural light.
