Meet something truly special: beautifully washed and combed top from our own pedigree flock of rare Lincoln Longwool sheep.

Known for producing exceptionally long, lustrous fibres, Lincoln Longwool has a rich heritage, once prized for the heavy fleeces that helped shape Britain’s textile history.  Today, it’s a vulnerable rare breed, with only a small number of flocks remaining.  By choosing this fibre, you’re not just creating something beautiful, you’re helping preserve an extraordinary breed.

Choose your fibre

We currently offer two unique options:

• Pure Black Lincoln Longwool – though “black” is part of the name, take a look at the fleece… it’s not a true jet black, but a rich, natural dark shade full of depth and character.
• Black & White Lincoln Longwool blend – a stunning mix created from black and white fibres. We didn’t have quite enough white fleece to process on its own, but the result is a beautifully unique colour blend we think you’ll absolutely love.

Why you’ll love it

• 100% pure fibre – no blends, no additives
• Fully traceable – straight from the farm to your hands
• Washed & combed – ready for spinning or felting
• Naturally rare fleece – no dye, no compromise
• Strong, durable fibre (36–38 micron) – ideal for outerwear and hard-wearing projects

Each batch begins with careful hand-sorting, done personally to select only the finest, strongest locks.  After shearing, the wool is quickly sent to Yorkshire and processed within weeks to preserve its natural sheen and beautiful colour.  This is traditionally a strong carpet wool and is not really suitable for close to skin wear.

A few notes

• This is a robust fibre with character, expect a little natural grease to release during soaking after spinning, leaving the yarn softer over time.
• This is a coarse fibre and more suited to carpet and crafts, not particularly suitable for garments worn close to skin.
• Due to lighting and screen differences, colours may appear slightly different on screen (especially darker fibres, which can look more grey).
• Ordering larger quantities? If shipping seems off, don’t worry—we’ll always refund any excess or arrange the best rate for you.

✨ If you’ve been looking for something rare, authentic, and full of story—this is it.
