Fleece for Sale
CVM #718161
$298.00 Add to cartThis moorit (brown) CVM fleece is from a wether, or castrated male. We prefer wethers because they don’t go through the stress of the reproductive cycle at any point during the year, meaning all of their energy goes into growing a nice fleece. This fleece has 3.5″ staple length and the soft hand you would expect with a CVM. It does have a light touch of lanolin and you may see a light sheen on your hands when working this fleece, but it is not so much that it will harm your equipment or make it more difficult to process. This is being sold as a whole 2.6 pound fleece and will come with a Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em passport sticker.

Imperfect CVM #423243
$35.00 Add to cartA CVM in variegated grays with 3″ locks and a soft hand. We struggled to get all of the lanolin out of this fleece, and there is still some in the tips of the locks, which is why it is in our Imperfect category. We recommend opening each lock by hand; the fiber may still feel lightly greasy after processing. Sold as a highly skirted fleece weighing 1.1 pounds.

Imperfect Gulf Coast Native #421004
$84.00 Add to cartA Gulf Coast Native fleece from the same flock that we sourced the fiber for our 2021 4th Quarter SE2SE club installment. This fleece, however, has both a little more vegetable matter than the fiber we used in the club, as well as a break right in the middle of the lock. At just 3.5 inches in length, that leaves less than 2″ in both of the broken halves; this fleece is most likely suited best for felting due to the short length of the resulting fibers. Sold as a whole 3.75 pound fleece.
