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.

BFL x CVM #1998
Original price was: $30.00.$25.00Current price is: $25.00. Select optionsThis is a Blue Faced Leicester crossed with a California Variegated Mutant or BFL x CVM. It is a white fleece with quite a bit of yolk. It would be very interesting if overdyed. This fleece takes its crimp and non-descript lock structure from the CVM and has the hand of a BFL. We would describe it as soft to medium in fineness, excellent for socks. The locks are 4 to 5-inches in length.

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.
