Blue Faced Leicester Locks



A custom order for some B.F.L.  locks in shades of blue and purple. 
This fleece is one that a local farmer had thrown in the back of his shed.  He thought it was useless but it is perfect for locks as they are very fine and tightly curled.  It is very dirty but washes out fairly well.  The tight, fine curls are almost impossible to process to spin with as they knot up into tiny balls but it is lovely as locks.  They separate out easily but I only sell like this as I do not want to spoil the lock definition.
I dye them in lots of about 50 to 60 grams
