Wensleydale

Despite their long and lustrous locks Wensleydale are a rare breed and this project, lead by a group of Handweavers and the Wensleydale Longwool Sheep Breeders Association aims to showcase the beautiful fleece in a series of exhibitions. My work features the un-spun locks and hand-spun fleece in Spanish lace weaves to show off the natural characteristics of the fibre, as well as a blanket handwoven from yarn from two flocks and spun at a micro mill.
