I bought this wool for a challenging project: from spinning to weaving Dutch lakenstof, similar as the English broadcloth. We know from ancient sources that lakenstof was woven from wool with long staple. The Cotswold wool was perfect for that! Even for a beginner like me, the wool was perfect for spinning. So good that the thread can even be used as a warp thread, this after sizing the warp. All in all, I am very satisfied with the wool, service and shipping from Wingham Wool.
My grandson loves wool which has a bit of itcyness to it and this is perfect it is nice and soft and lovely to spin. I am spinning it quite thick as my friend is crocheting a blanket for my grandson with it due to my friend being blind she prefers a thicker wool to work with.
I love this wool, it's easy to spin for a non proffessional person as the staples are quite long.
A lovely white colour and a good spin to this fibre. Would definitely use this again. The delivery was good too.
I recently purchased some Cheviot fibre and was very impressed by the quality of the fibre and the speed the order wad delivered. Well done Wingham.

I am new to spinning and wanted something with a reasonably moderate length staple for hand carding. I�m not in a position to compare the staple with other breeds, but so far it has worked well and been very pleasing. Excellent take up too of natural tannin dyes - oak and walnut shell. Delivery was fast. Will continue to experiment with other breeds via Wingham.
Cheviot is my go to fleece. It's just superb. Soft and strong and so easy to spin. A great roving for beginners. One of the cheapest wools too. I love it above all other breeds!
This, along with white Corriedale, was purchased by me for use by my WI students who had never spun before. This is a really alternative to Jacob for beginners as the long staple length and good spring make it easy to spin. Not quite as soft as the Corriedale; but the natural light grey colour makes a well-balance yarn with ease. Recommend this for beginner spinners and those who want a slightly more robust feel to their finished yarn that that returned by Corriedale or Jacob. Great natural colour choice too; or go for the white and dye it with you own choice of the excellent dyes from Wingham Wool Work.
