They are raised principally for meat, but also produce a medium-grade wool suitable for a wide range of uses. Our Lleyn has a slightly stiff hand, and is probably best for projects requiring a sturdier wool. Most people will not want to use it for next-to-the-skin garments. Fiber diameter is 31-33 microns and staple length ranges from about 2.5-4.75 inches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe English usually pronounce the name as \"kleen\", but a more correct Welsh pronunciation is more like \"(kh)lane\", where the (kh) represents an aspirated \"h\" sound said before the \"l\". \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur rovings are dyed with fairly even distribution of colors. Photos are of each side of the coil, so you can see as much of the color as possible.
