Shropshire #5

Description

This fleece is dirty, with dirty tips and moderate VM.  I HIGHLY recommend a cold soak before scouring – you will be happy if you do.  These locks are SO crimpy and so much softer than many Shropshire fleeces I’ve encountered – it’s well worth that soak for sturdy – yet snuggly – socks and hats and cowls.  For a down breed, it’s definitely next to skin comfy.  I would love this fleece to have more staple length – but I don’t see this as a detriment because I want to card this, get that loft and air into the yarn and be extra warm.

Ave staple 2″

Price is per ounce, with a 4 oz minimum.
