$8.00Cream Colorway. Shetland Combed Locks are perfect for felting, spinning, and other crafts—net weight: 5 grams.
Blue Thistle Fibers’ hand-washed Shetland Locks are perfect for spinning or felting for your craft projects. This undyed product has been washed and scoured in hot water before combing. There may be neps, felted sections or minor VM. Wool is sourced from our network of farms that ethically and sustainably raise heritage breed sheep.
While our team hand-dyes our wool products carefully, natural dye results can vary based on plant materials and fibers. Please be aware that variations in color and appearance may differ from the display image. Please wash separately with gentle, pH-neutral soap several times before using, as naturally dyed fibers will run the first few washes.
