Leicester Longwools are a historical heritage breed known for their super silky and lustrous wool. The intense shine is difficult to capture in photographs, but garments and shawls knit from this wool have the appearance of woolen pearls. This listing is for one fingering weight skein grown by Calvin and hand-dyed using Indigo grown on the farm.

During the colonial era, Leicester Longwool yarn was particularly prized by weavers for its strength and durability. This Leicester Longwool yarn will be perfect as the weft for your heirloom woven shawl.
