Coloured Fleeces

Fleeces are described to the best of my ability. If you have any questions about a fleece or aren’t sure where to start, please don’t hesitate to contact us. These coloured fleeces tend to have some weakness at the tips from sun bleaching, but it shouldn’t reach beyond the very end of the fibre.

This page starts with Bluefaced Leicester Cross fleeces, followed Romney and Romney Cross Fleeces, Clun Forest and Dorset Cross Fleeces, Clun Forest cross Lamb Fleeces and finally the Clun Forest x Bluefaced Leicester x Romney Lamb Fleeces
