Black Ewe Shetland Fleece 2.75 lb Very Clean FL #39

Description

This fleece weighs 2.75 pounds with a 3.5 inch staple length. Dahlia, a black ewe, provided this beautiful fleece with wavy crimp locks and grey hairs through out the fleece (a nice heathered look!), light guard hair, and very little VM and a very soft handle.  This is a beautiful medium sized fleece allows the spinner to experience the best of  soft Shetland wool.  Shetland fleeces produce a light lofty yarn with a silky finish. And a little goes a long way. Our fleeces are never coated because these browsing animals have cleaned our pastures up nicely. But they might have some very light vegetable matter. (Coating sheep often causes felting.)

Purchase of our products helps to support and preserve our heritage flock of sheep and the production of quality wool products.
