Fleece for Sale
BFL x Wensleydale #723158
$115.00 Read moreA unique crossbreed with energized locks measuring five to six inches in length. The locks look mostly like you would expect from a BFL, but with a little more open tip due to the Wensleydale influence. The lock structure does seem to trap in a bit more vegetable matter and dirt than usual, so there will be a little work with a Lock Pop or flicker to open this one up and get it clean. This fleece is black with brown on the tips. Sold as a highly skirted whole fleece weighing 0.8 pounds (13 ounces).

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.

CVM x Cotswold x Wensleydale #723166
$164.00 Add to cartA variegated crossbreed with both wavy and crimpy locks. It has a medium to soft hand and will be next to skin soft for most people. Colors run the gamut from dark to light gray and tan to light brown.

Nonetheless, it is a very nice fleece overall. Sold as a highly skirted whole fleece weighing 1.25 pounds.

Imperfect Wensleydale #423133
$105.00 Add to cartThis is a white Wensleydale with 5″ and longer locks that ends up in our Imperfect category because of dirt that would not wash out.

Sold as a whole fleece weighing 2.3 pounds. Once processed, this dirty blonde fleece will reward you with some gorgeous fiber!

Fleece for Sale
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.
