2022 Ryeland Shearling Fleece from Bliss
This fleece is no longer available but we may have other Ryeland fleeces available.
Description
This is Bliss's first shear. Ryeland wool is not particularly long in staple, but is a very fine, crimpy wool that spins to a very lightweight yarn. It is good for needle felting (although not so good at wet felting due to its fineness). Bliss has a dense fleece.

There are some bits around the neck and legs, but it is not too bad.
Notes
I have removed all of the muck, it might appear to be quite grey but washes to a lovely bright creamy white.
