2023 Romney Cross Fleece from Grape
Note: this is not a pure breed fleece (see description below).
Description
A special fleece with shine and gentle crimp. The summer coat from a ewe who didn't lamb this year. Light grease. Spins beautifully to make a soft yarn with lustre. The fleece was very loose as it was shorn and I have carefully sorted it by hand, leaving the great lock structure and ready for you to use as you wish.
