OK,
the picture is not that flattering. I sent her fleece to the
new owner without taking a picture and only had fiber from the
uncoated neck to take pics of. Duh. Still, you can see the nice
firm crimp, good length and some luster. This is a springy,
dense fleece with nice lock structure. And what a great example
of uncoated wool being dirtier than coated ones, like Gooseberry
above. $15.00 per lb. Full fleece approx. 7 lb.

I kept it in the Long Wool category. The crimp is quite pronounced

There is not a great deal of variation in the fleeces
of the white Cotswolds, so we do not list them individually
as we did with the other sheep above. We sell raw, skirted
Cotswold fleece by the pound, but we can use all that's
available in our handspinning roving, so quantities for
sale are sometimes limited. If we are sold out,
or if you want to order over 15 pounds, please contact
us for info on when it would be available. $12.00
per lb.
There is some difference between a Cots lamb fleece, and
fleece from older animals. In general, we find it to be
finer and silkier. We sell raw, skirted lamb fleece
by the pound, usually starting in September, when some
lambs are shorn before going to market. If you are
interested, please contact us for info on availability.
$18.00 per lb. |

Our Colored Cotswolds vary quite a bit in color. Most
individuals bear a range of grays shading to black. Some
are predominantly pale to medium silver with just a little
black on the neck and legs, others are the reverse. All
have high luster and good curl. We sell raw, skirted Cotswold
fleece by the pound, but we can use all that's available
in our handspinning roving, so quantities for sale are
sometimes limited. If we are sold out, or if you
