Black CVM x Wensleydale cross with a variety of crimp styles and 3.5”-4.5” length. This fleece is from one of the same animals that was part of our 4th quarter Bliss Subscription, but from a different clip – meaning it was sheared in a different year. Overall still a great fleece but the inconsistency in length and crimp kept this from qualifying for our Bliss club.

There is more VM in the way of fine chaff than we like to see. It is easily removed with a Lock Pop or flicker.
