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!

Imperfect Wensleydale #423142
$72.00 Add to cartA supple fleece from a naughty Wensleydale lamb which apparently liked to roll around in the barn. While the underlying 5″ long fiber is quite wonderful, it is full of small bits of vegetable matter. Sold as a whole fleece weighing 1.4 pounds.

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.

$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.
