What a special fleece! This fleece won 1st in her class and Reserve Grand Champion at the 2026 Black Sheep Gathering! Hazel has such lovely defined curls and luster with some extra softness from the BFL.
Breed Note
Though the Gotland traces its roots to a Swedish island and the Bluefaced Leicester to northern England, the two breeds have crossed paths in modern breeding programs. Both are prized for their curly lustrous longwool fleeces.

How is the fiber processed?
MIA/ FIBER features the best parts of the fleece so they are ready for their next adventure with fellow makers! The fleece is skirted (short and dirty pieces along with debris are removed), then washed with Unicorn products to remove the lanolin and dirt. Some vegetable (VM) matter will remain and the level is noted in each listing.
