BFL Lamb #723165
$252.00 Read moreA white BFL lamb fleece with a medium to soft hand in 6″ long locks. While about half the locks seem to be the typical thin, crimpy, BFL style, the other half are more open and less energized. This naughty lamb shook off its coat a few times during the growing season, and there are spots that have more VM than we typically see in a coated fleece. This will be a fun and interesting fleece to process. Sold as a whole 2.2 pound fleece.

$175.00 Read moreWe are offering for the first time a BFL x Clun Forest x Texel. The 5” locks are somewhat coarser than the BFL x Clun Forest cross.

BFL x Teeswater x Corriedale x Lincoln x CVM #22113
$22.00 – $131.00 Read moreThis 5-breed cross is the result of a BFL x Teeswater ram and Corriendale x Lincoln x CVM ewe. The 6″ long locks have a medium to soft hand and more energy than one would typically expect from locks that long. The fleece is mostly dark gray and black, with some dark brown right at the tips. The locks are occassionally indistinct, and though the tips open easily, the only thing bad we can say about this fleece is the unique lock structure does seem to trap a small amount of dirt and vegetable right at the tips – though it will clean up easily in the fiber prep stage. Overall, this is a fun and quite a unique fleece.

$115.00 Add to cartA unique crossbreed with energized locks measuring five to six inches in length.
