GCF Imperfect
Imperfect CVM #423243
$35.00 Add to cartA CVM in variegated grays with 3″ locks and a soft hand. We struggled to get all of the lanolin out of this fleece, and there is still some in the tips of the locks, which is why it is in our Imperfect category. We recommend opening each lock by hand; the fiber may still feel lightly greasy after processing. Sold as a highly skirted fleece weighing 1.1 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.

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.
