This is Puff's coated show fleece, and it's spectacular! The tips were removed prior to shearing so the locks maintain their rich gray color and practically fall apart during picking. This is a classic Romney with chunky crimpy locks. I’ved used the rest of this fleece on a number of projects and it’s a dream to process and spin!
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.
