BFL x Clun Forest x Texel #720023
$175.00 Add to cartWe are offering for the first time a BFL x Clun Forest x Texel. The 5” locks are somewhat coarser than the BFL x Clun Forest cross. They are bright white at the root to ivory at the tip. We think this one would be a good candidate for the dye pot most likely yielding a variegated color. Sold as a whole fleece of 2.4 pounds.

$122.00 Add to cartA white four-way cross that looks a bit like its three long wool breeds but has a softer hand than expected due to the influence of the CVM.

Bond x Corriedale #22210
$20.00 – $119.00 Select optionsThis crossbreed is unique in that most producers breed long wools with short wools, or coarse wools to fine ones.

The chocolate brown locks end in blonde tips that are easy to open and process.

Fleece for Sale
Border Leicester x CVM #22252
$18.00 – $104.00 Select optionsBright white and big crimp! This unique cross of Border Leicester and CVM looks like someone took a CVM and just made everything bigger: 5″ long locks, big french fry crimp, and slightly larger fiber diameter – resulting in a medium hand rather than the typically silky soft hand of CVM. Still, this is an all around fun and squishy fleece.
