I love working with raw fleeces especially Wensleydale locks which I like using whole in my spinning and knitting. As I love colour I like to dye them before using them.

To leave the lock structure I separate them and put them in plastic containers with the tips facing the same way
 

I add colour in stripes after having soaked the locks in water for about 15 minutes.

When I am pleased with the effect

 I cover the container and 'cook' in the microwave for about 5 mins.

 

I leave them to cool down, rinse them and let them dry
