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).

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.

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. This fleece is similar to the fleece we used in our Bliss club for the first quarter of 2024; it is from the same flock but does not contain Lincoln lineage and the crimp is not quite as consistent throughout the fleece. Nonetheless, it is a very nice fleece overall. Sold as a highly skirted whole fleece weighing 1.25 pounds.

GCF Imperfect
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. The dirt is inside the locks and will come out easily with processing on the Lock Pop; but it is going to be a dirty process and will require some elbow grease. Sold as a whole fleece weighing 2.3 pounds. Once processed, this dirty blonde fleece will reward you with some gorgeous fiber!

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.
