Handspinner Fleeces

The Corriedale sheep is a merino-lincoln cross, developed in Australia and New Zealand and first brought to this country in 1914.  It’s dense fleece is medium fine, 56s grade, with a good length and softness and light shrinkage, somewhat between a medium wool and a long wool.

Corriedale wool is a favorite of hand spinners in many areas of the country.
We offer well skirted (the removal of foreign matter and belly wool) fleeces in white, and various shades of gray, brown and black.  Please call or e-mail  for more information on current availability.

The sheep are sheared in late February, some people choose the fleece on the ewe before sheering and ask for her fleece by name the next year.

We will only offer our BEST fleeces. The staple length will be between 2 1/2 and 4 inches with a nice crimp.  An average well skirted fleece weighs between 7and 10 pounds. 

Fleeces are sold per fleece, by the pound.  $3.00 per pound.
For orders of less than 15 pounds add $5.00 shipping
For orders of 15 pounds and up shipping is FREE in the continental U.S..
