A crimpy crossbreed measuring around 4″ in length with a medium to soft hand. This fleece is variegated in browns and grays and has sunkissed blonde tips, all of which will blend together for an intriguing depth of color when processed. Its locks are considerably sproingy considering the length, and it also has good sheen; this is a great example of the positive benefits of crossbreeding. Sold as a half fleece weighing 1.5 pounds.

A fun crossbreed measuring as much as 9″ in length with a medium to soft hand. This fleece has thick, bold locks that are cotted (lightly felted) at the cut ends. In order to be spun, this fleece will require some work with a Lock Pop or combs and there will be a fair amount of waste. However, if used for a felting project – vegan sheep skins come to mind – this fleece is ready to use as is. Pricing on this fleece has been lowered to reflect the assumption of loss when processing for spinning.

A four breed cross resulting in a 5″ fleece with a medium hand and curly locks. You can see the effect of the CVM on this fleece, as it sports several hues of gray – sometimes even within the same lock. Unfortunately, this fleece had a mishap in the washing process and is a little felted. It will not make a great fleece for hand spinning, but the curly and wavy locks would be great to felt further. Sold in one pound increments.

This lovely lamb fleece comes from a crossbreed of 50% Teeswater, 25% CVM, and 25% Wensleydale, so it’s not surprising that it measures seven inches and longer and has plenty of luster. It is crimpy and soft, and about 2/3 white and 1/3 black with a smattering of grays. This fleece is in our Imperfect category for having more vegetable matter than we typically allow; it is mostly large pieces that come out easily but it does need to be processed by hand. Sold as a whole fleece weighing 2.1 pounds.

While the length seems to be fairly uniform at around six inches, the color runs from white to light tan to light gray, while the locks structure runs from distinct and highly energized to amorphous and relaxed. This fleece has a relatively soft handle that will be next to skin soft for most people and will be interesting to process and spin.

A highly energized, creamy white Merino crossbreed fleece. This one could be the picture next to the dictionary entry for “sproing.” Much of this fleece resembles a BFL although it is a Merino crossbreed with a smattering of Cormo, Lincoln, and Wensleydale in its lineage. It measures 5″ when stretched, but relaxes to around 3 inches in length, and has a next to skin soft hand. This fleece has a little bit of dirt in the tips but don’t let that scare you off; it will fall out in the fiber prep stage.
