GCF Imperfect
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.

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.
