HMFF Raw Wool Fleeces
 
These fleeces were skirted and weighed the day of shearing, but I will review each fleece before it is shipped and skirt it again as necessary to make sure you have no tags, mats, or excessive VM. Actually weights may lessen slightly after this process and your total will be adjusted.  There is also a $3 per fleece discount for all raw fleeces (since I won't have to wash them!)  . It may be possible to split the larger fleeces...just ask.  To receive an e-sample of any fleeces you are interested in, contact me at hmffarm@fidnet.com  Shipping is a flat $6.50 per fleece (you only pay for 1 #... I pay the rest).
 
Blueface Leicester ram
 
Blue Face Leicester hybrid fleeces  These fleeces are the result of crossing the Blue Face Leicester ram (Bradford count 54) onto our Improved Border Leicester ewes. (Bradford count: 44-48)  The resulting lambs produce fleeces that are finer in diameter like the ram, but retain the length of staple like the ewes. Blend these fleeces with kid or yearling mohair of similar count and staple length.  $12/lb
