Quality Handspinning Fleece and Washed Wool

Our fleeces are carefully skirted and are free of burrs, chaff, or other vegetable matter.  They have been selected from our flock for good handspinning quality.  Although these fleeces were NOT coated, the quality rivals many of the finest fleeces around. At the 2007 Shepherd's Harvest, Marcella's fleece won 1st place in the White Long Wool Division!

We offer quality fleece at reasonable prices.

Below are the fleeces that have been skirted and are available for sale:
