a rare colored BFL fleece with characteristic tiny purled locks

HMFF Bluefaced Leicester

Bluefaced Leicester is a rare breed with a growing fan club!  The fleeces are lighter in total weight, shorter in staple length , but OH so incredibly fine with tiny purled locks.   Bluefaced Leicester is a good choice for blending with Angora bunny wool or kid mohair. Staple length is variable from 4-5 inches (unstretched) and 6-7 crimps per inch . Limited quantities of white and silver.  Priced at $16/lb and sold by the fleece

HMFF Bluefaced Leicester fleeces are available direct from the farm or my ebay store: Herbal Maid Gallery

long staple length and finer fiber diameter are the hallmarks of the Hybrid Leicester

HMFF Hybrid Leicester

I am especially pleased with our Hybrid Leicester ! These fleeces are from sheep that are 1/2 Border and 1/2 Bluefaced Leicester and are the best of both worlds.  All the fineness of the Bluefaced Leicester and all the luster, length and uniformity of our Border Leicester!   HMFF Hybrid Leicester fleeces are a spinners dream and blend well with yearling mohair. Staple length is generally 6-7 inches with 6-7 crimps per inch.  Come in white, silver and black. Priced at $14/lb and sold by the fleece.
