Teeswater Adult 3lb. 6oz. Raw Fleece #998
Here is what Shepherds Lane is known for, incredible Teeswaters! The fiber is as alive and exciting as are the sheep that produce it. This breed is listed on the watch list of the Rare Breeds Trust in the UK, the country of its origin, and has recently been added as a rare breed on the Livestock Conservancy here in the USA. (Our flock is in the “Shave Em to Save Em” program…just let me know if you are participating and I will include your SE2SE label.) The Teeswaters have been established here by using semen and an upgrading program which we have helped to establish and continue to support with genetics and high quality breeding stock. Our flock numbers around 50 to 75 head so fleeces are always in stock as they are usually shorn twice a year.
This fleece is raw and unwashed. It does have grease but very little vm so the weight will decease a bit when washed. The fine purling is fantastic! Handfuls of bouncy, looping curls throughout the entire fleece. Weight is 3 pounds and 6 ounces. Staple length is good at six inches plus. This will be bright, sparkling locks when washed and could be used for any fiber arts medium.
