Available as either hand dyed or au naturelle, this Finn/English Leicester cross (hogget) was grown in Northern Tasmania by Curly Wool Yarns. The wool was processed in Victoria before coming back to The Lucky Ewe. Sold in generous 115g braids. As a long lustre wool, English Leicester are best for spinning up to knit or crochet a sturdy outdoor jumper, or to use in weaving or felting. Crossing the English Leicester with Finn sheep results in a lovely long stapled wool, with a softer handle due to the Finn.
The Lucky Ewe acknowledges the tulampanga people of lutruwita, who are Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are fortunate enough to live, work and play. We recognise their continued connection to the land and waters of this beautiful place and acknowledge that they never ceded sovereignty. We respect all palawa Elders and Ancestors, and the rights of all first nations people throughout Australia and the Torres Strait to care for Country, to share and to celebrate culture.
