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.

Imperfect BFL #4117
$48.00 Add to cartNatural-colored BFL with 4″ staple length weighing in at a heavily-skirted 1.8 pounds.

$85.00 Add to cartA stunning 7″ long BFL that is in our Imperfect category because it is tender throughout most of the fleece.

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!

Imperfect Wensleydale #42319
$120.00 Add to cartA delectable 6″ long Wensleydale sporting every shade of gray that you can imagine. The lock structure is a unique combination of wavy, curly, and corkscrew, which has unfortunately trapped a lot of dirt in this fleece. As such, it is in our Imperfect category as it will require quite a bit of additional processing to separate the soft, gorgeous fibers from the dirt and vegetable matter. Sold as a whole fleece weighing 2.5 pounds.

Merino x Cormo x Wensleydale #18141
$32.00 – $103.00 Select optionsThis 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.
