Lamb fleeces are so fun to work with! This lamb hasn't quite developed the "classic" Romney crimp and lock structure and features adorable wavy curls instead. Unlike some lamb fleeces, the locks are strong from base to tip. Some tips feel a little "stiff", but they pick or flick with ease. It's delightfully soft and full of character!
Breed Note: Romney sheep originated in the damp Romney Marshes of southeastern England which is why they thrive in the Pacific Northwest! Romney is a popular medium-longwool fiber that features a distinct crimp and glowing luster.
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.
