There is not a great deal of variation in the fleeces
of the white Cotswolds, so we do not list them individually
as we did with the other sheep above. We sell raw, skirted
Cotswold fleece by the pound, but we can use all that's
available in our handspinning roving, so quantities for
sale are sometimes limited. If we are sold out,
or if you want to order over 15 pounds, please contact
us for info on when it would be available. $10.00
per lb.
There is some difference between a Cots lamb fleece, and
fleece from older animals. In general, we find it to be
finer and silkier. We sell raw, skirted lamb fleece
by the pound, usually starting in August, when some lambs
are shorn before going to market. If you are interested,
please contact us for info on availability. $12.00
per lb. |
