We are so lucky in the UK to have such a diverse range of incredible sheep breeds, each one bred to flourish in its natural surroundings whether that's high in the mountains or on the lowlands. And with the diversity of breeds comes a whole range of fleece variations giving hand spinners the option to choose the perfect wool for any project, from fine laceweight shawls to chunky rugs, British Wool can do it all. 

 

I have been hand spinning for many years and it is the variety of fibres that continues to excite me because as well as being able to choose a wool for a project I also find it such fun to try wool I haven't previously discovered and the whole journey feels fresh and exciting.

If you are unsure of which wool you need for a specific yarn then this selection may help you to choose enabling you to order a larger quantity of your favourite with confidence.

 

This selection of British Wools have been chosen to reflect the seven British Wool categories of sheep breed and offers 22 wools which is sure to excite you too as you learn all about the various breeds as each one will feel very different to spin helping you to appreciate the uniqueness of each breed. 

The seven categories are:

  • Fine
  • Medium
  • Cross
  • Lustre
  • Hill
  • Mountain
  • Naturally Coloured

 

Your pack will contain 50g of each gorgeous wool with each breed being labelled with the micron count and staple length to help you to decide on the best way to spin them. And that choice is left to you to decide as there are so many possibilities. If you need any advice however I am always happy to help, so do please get in touch to ask.

And to help you keep track of your spinning inventory you will also find 22 labels, one for each wool on which you can record all of your spinning information for future reference.

 

PACKAGING CHOICES:

**You may choose to order the premium presentation box which consists of an eco-friendly cardboatrd boxed lined with tissue paper to keep it safe in transit. It can then double up to make a fabulous storage box for all of your hand spun yarns too. It also makes a great gift package if you are buying for a crafty friend or treating yourself.

 

**Alternatively you may prefer a more simplistic presentation where the selection of wools will be sent in an eco-friendly postal bag. This is suitable if you are purchasing for yourself or if storage options are not a factor for you.

 

Whichever packaging service you choose be assured that I  shall package your order with care and attention and I very much look forward to creating your British Wool Box order soon.
