Here’s a crossbreed you don’t see every day! This is actually the first time we’ve seen one of these, and it’s quite interesting. It has shades of light and dark gray, mostly indistinct locks of about 5″ in length, and has a softer hand than you would expect for a cross of a medium and long wool.

Here we have a nice 3-way cross: CVM x Corriedale x Lincoln. This fleece has it all! Color: light gray to medium gray to dark gray with a touch of medium brown. Crimp: nice Corriedale type crimp. Length: 5-inches. Lock Structure: distinct individual locks like a Lincoln with lots of curls. Hand: soft like a fine CVM. Overall a very nice fleece and an excellent spinners 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 5″ long crossbreed with a medium hand. Mostly charcoal but exhibiting some light gray variegations. This fleece exhibits charasteristics of all three of its compenent breeds; variegated color from the CVM, good french fry crimp from the Corriedale, and length and strength from the Wensleydale.

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?

This fleece exhibits some of the best characteristics of two of our favorite breeds: the variegated color and fineness of the CVM and the soft hand and easy processing of Wensleydale. Fawn brown, 4″ locks; overall, a lovely fleece.
