Product Description
We have medium brown fiber with micron counts between 22 and 30, depending on which animal it comes from.
There is dark fawn fleece with accents of lighter coloration near the legs and belly. Those lighter spots would be in the seconds and thirds, with the dark fawn being mostly the prime. This female has a micron count in the mid 20's up to 30 as it varies within the blanket.
The white and beige fleeces are from our male, Razzle, and our female, Rosie. Their micron counts are in the low 20's
Both Rosie and Razzle's fleeces go rather quickly because they are so soft and have the ability to take dye very well.
Prices will vary depending on the micron of the fleece. Feel free to contact us through email or via phone if you are interested.
If interested in a particular fleece, we can send a sample so you can touch what you are seeing/ reading about online.
If a prime fleece isn't what your are looking for, we also have seconds and thirds that we consider worth keeping around for a project that won't need to be close the skin soft. Some of it has a nice feel, but is too short for spinning into soft yarn. It does, however, spin up nice for rug yarn or works rather well for felting projects.
Fleeces will come to you skirted and free of as much vegetable matter as our hands are capable of removing. If you'd prefer it washed prior to shipping, please let us know and we will be happy to help you with this.

Thanks for looking!
