Both these color ways have been spun using the same method. A slight variation on my usual method. The main yarn is lock spun using long locks from a shearling fleece that I have fluffed up at the butt end of. These are spun at a very slow ratio using my Spin O Lution wheel which will take any thickness of yarn. I then plied this onto a Wensleydale cross single. As I plied I flicked out the tips of the locks making the yarn have a more tail spun effect. This makes a very stable yarn and improves the yardage to weight ratio. I then kettle dyed the finished yarn as part of setting the spin.
