The Spinning C Fiber Mercantile



China  BFL/Shetland

Spring is coming!  You want to know how I know this???  I know it is February, the days are getting longer, we are preparing for lambing season, and fiber people have started calling and emailing me wanting to reserve a fleece when we shear in March.
The old customers are asking for fleeces from certain sheep and new customers are asking what our wool looks like, what breeds we have, and availability.  I have these pictures that I took last fall so the wool is a little longer but it will give you some idea of what our wool looks like.
We will have several fleeces like the ewe above.  Their mothers are registered shetlands and their Dad is White Knight, a white Bluefaced Leicester.    BFL/Shetland




Snuggles
We also have several ewes like the one above.  BFL/polypay...I really like this wool to make a nice warm wool sock.
