BFL x Clun Forest #20028
$58.00 – $109.00 Select optionsWe see a lot of this particular crossbreed, but this fleece is unique in that it looks mostly like a BFL fleece but with tips that are easy to open. The 6″ locks are mostly uniform in structure, and there is some yolk (yellowing) throughout the fleece.

BFL x Teeswater x Wensleydale x CVM #720133
$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. The distinct, 6″ locks are more curly than wavy and should process easily with combs, a drum carder, or straight from the lock once opened with a flicker or Lock Pop. Coated and highly skirted, this is sold as a 1.2 pound whole fleece.

Corriedale X #22089
$157.00 Select optionsA multiple-breed crossbred fleece that can best be described as an improved Corriedale. It is equaly parts Corriedale, Romney, and Romeldale. With french fry style locks measuring 5.5″ in length, this fleece will be a dream to process and spin. Color is mostly chocolate brown with some tan on the tips. This is a spectacular fleece that just missed out on being a Bliss fleece (to another fleece from the same flock).

Merino x Wensleydale x Cormo #149
$54.00 – $103.00 Select optionsThis white fleece is a cross between Merino, Cormo and Wensleydale. With half of the genetics coming from the Merino and a quarter each from the Cormo and Wensleydale we would expect a very soft hand from the fine wools and a more open crimp from the long wool. Surprise! It is soft with lots and lots of crimp. And a lock that looks like a mini BFL. There is a lot of stretch or, as we say, sproing. The fiber is 4-1/2 inches in length. We love these fine wools crossed with Wensleydale. This fiber should be very interesting to work with.
