Well, it only took me two and a half months, but I finally have all of our fall fleeces sorted and skirted! I’m selling them in the shop in four ounce lots. I’ve removed all sticks, stones, and poo, although you will find some VM. The fleeces have very few second cuts, and anyone who tries to sell you fleece with no second cuts is either lying or a champion shearer…
Sheep not included...
The fleeces still have that lovely lanolin sheep smell, although Icelandics produce less lanolin than other sheep breeds.
The penny's not included either...
You can either separate the longer and coarser outer tog fibers from the soft inner thel and spin each, or blend them together to make beautiful soft and strong lopi style yarns.
