Spinning (very) longwools for lace

I love spinning and knitting fine wool yarns. And so my recent fascination with lace feels like a natural progression of my interests. Given the wide range of breeds available to the hand spinner, I wasn't quite sure which would suit lace best. Nor was I quite sure what a lace textile ought to feel like. In this post I'm going to share with you my experience exploring these questions with a commercially prepared Leicester Longwool top.
