Two tone brown and tan fleece with 5-inch locks and nice sheen. The length and sheen is from its Cotswold and Lincoln heritage. Crimp on this fleece resembles a mix of Corriedale and CVM, as all four breeds had an influence on the outcome of this gorgeous fleece.

This unique fleece comes from a producer that features a Merino x Lincoln x Cormo x Wensleydale crossbreed. This fleece is 50% Corriedale and 50% of that four-way cross. The result is a 5″ long fleece; it is black in color with hints of brown and gray and a french fry staple like you would expect with Corriedale, but with a softer hand than is typical for a pure Corriedale.

A white crossbreed with clearly defined, 4.5″ long locks that taper to a tell-tale lamb curlicue. This fleece exhibits a little bit of all three of its breeds, and the end product is essentially a crimpy BFL with a softer than normal hand.

A fun four-breed cross measuring 4.5″ in length. The locks are both crimpy and wavy, as sometimes happens in a crossbreed. This fleece did pick up some variegation in its color from the CVM lineage and the tans and light grays are best described as oatmeal in color. Don’t you need more fiber in your diet?

A luscious 21 micron Merino exhibiting various shades of gray. A 3.75″ staple length and crimpy locks are found throughout this fleece.

A luscious, creamy white Merino that checks in at 19 micron and 4.5 inches.

This 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 – and that is exactly what we have. The fiber is 4-1/2 inches in length and a medium brown color. We love these fine wools crossed with Wensleydale. This is an excellent hand spinners fleece.
