About: Black Welsh Top
Black Welsh is remarkable for its all black fleece. The fleece is coarse to medium with moderate luster and good loft. Because the fleece is coarse it is most suitable for outerwear, upholstery fabric or rugs. Staple length is 3-4 inches. The color makes it an interesting blending choice to create mixed natural color yarns.

About: Natural White Blue Face Leicester
Bluefaced Leicester is a fine, semi-lustrous longwool with a staple length that ranges from 3-6 inches. Descending from the Border Leicester breed, their name comes from the fact that the skin on their head that shows through their fleece is a dark blue color. Yarns spun from this breed are very soft, yet strong.

About: Brown Select Jacob
Jacobs are known for their distinctive spotted white and brown fleece. Staple lengths range from 3 to 6 inches. The amount of white verses brown varies depending upon the individual sheep. At birth the brown is most intense and gradually lightens as the sheep ages. Jacob is known for being lofty and semi-lustrous. Because of its unique characteristics, Jacob is in high demand by handspinners. We feature the dark brown fleece.
