Simply gorgeous washed and combed top from our pedigree flock of rare breed Lincoln Longwool sheep. This colour comes from a blend of the white and the black Lincoln Longwools.
The Lincoln Longwool breed was particularly developed for the growth of a large heavy fleece of long lustrous wool, to which we owe much of the historic wealth of our nation. Today there are very few remaining flocks of Lincoln Longwools and they are consequently a ‘vulnerable’ rare breed on the Rare Breed Survival Trust RBST watchlist. Should you decide to use Lincoln Longwool for your project then I thank you for helping our farm to support this wonderful breed.
Please note - I have included a discount for larger amounts.
Why not let us send you the pure combed top fully prepared. You can be sure that there is no added fibres in our wool, everything is pure with full traceability back to our farm. Pure Black Lincoln Longwool wool is so rare, this is a perfect opportunity to buy genuine Black Lincoln which has no added fibres, washed and combed. Lincoln is better for outerwear - a very strong fibre 36-38 micron. There will be a little grease on soaking after spinning and the fibre will feel slightly softer
Before scouring and combing these lustrous locks are sorted by me personally and only the strongest and best of the fibre is used for our tops. Our sorted wool is delivered to Yorkshire shortly after shearing and is processed within a couple of weeks to avoid discolouration and retain its glorious colour.
When ordering please keep in mind that the actual colours might differ from what you see, due to the settings of my camera, your monitor and the black wool always wants to show grey!
