Best Uses
This fleece asks a little more of you, and it's a great pick if you enjoy the prep. Comb out the locks and blend the different shades together, use them for felting, or spin a textured yarn for woven wall hangings, baskets and other decorative projects where a little hay won't matter. With over 4 pounds here, there's plenty to play with.

Working Notes
Plan on combing or picking before you spin, since there's still hay in the locks. Lincoln has a long staple, so it drafts smoothly and doesn't need much twist. Once it's prepped, it spins into a strong, shiny yarn that drapes beautifully.
