Valais Blacknose Lamb #1382 Fleece
This fiber is from one of our Shepherds Lane 75% Valais Blacknose, 25% Teeswater ram lambs. As you know, this breed is currently being established in the USA by a process we call “upgrading”, which is why I use percentages in my descriptions to represent the fiber as accurately as possible for you.
Before I shear the lambs they get a nice rinse and air dry in the sun…this makes for a clean, fresh fleece to shear and offer to spinners. I have taken every effort to skirt and remove any vm or short bits so you are getting the very best of the best this little lamb could offer! Weighs 2 pounds and 4 ounces. Staple length is on average about four to five inches long or more. Just beautiful fiber! Very lustrous and shiny. Much of the lock structure is intact and could be used for felt projects or art yarns. Note that there is a bit of yellowing along the staple in some of this fleece…not an issue if you are going to dye this fiber.
Give Valais a try and let me know what you think of this unique fiber!
