This is ONE full sheep fleece!  It’s huge!  I think this one is Angus’s fleece.  It will wash out to a light white in color… almost a cream.

Look at the lovely crimp in the fiber!  That is so nice… it’s to DIE for in the fiber world, apparently!  Most of my sheep are the more traditional Shetland, not the primitive, dual coated sheep.  

Here’s another pretty little sample!  Most of the locks are over 4 inches long, some longer.  They were sheared a little earilier than last year, so they really had about 10 months of growth instead of 12.  Now that we are in the Emily route, next year they should have a little more time to grow some even more super lovely stuff!!!

Luna Kitty just LOVES fleece.  I think she would just crawl into the fiber bags and never come out until it’s like 80 degrees out.  We are so going to make some cat and dog toys in the near future stuffed with lovely sheep wool…  animals ADORE the “wild” aroma of the fleece…

More beautiful fiber!!!!  This is from Ivy!  She grows a lovely nice coat.  Beautiful crimp!!

Evee loves the fiber as well.  She is a sheepdog after all, so I guess that only makes sense!  haha….    she is playing with the skirted yucky poopy stuff!  Which to a dog is the BEST!  Evee doesn’t really care much about crimp or fiber length!  

 

Baa baa, black sheep…  have you any wool?  Yes, sir, yes sir, 6 bags full!

We still have some fleeces and wool left…
