These lustrous, long, wide diameter locks are great for Santa beards, doll hair, or rugs & outerwear. Cotswold sheep are a rare breed that do very well on pasture, are great mothers, and have a wonderful curious disposition. Also known as "poor man's mohair." I have picked out only the good curly locks to ship.
Our heritage breed wool fleeces are available year round at reasonable prices. Our Cotswold sheep produce fleeces of long, lustrous curly locks suitable for all kinds of crafts including doll hair, Santa beards, rugs, and outerwear. We select only high quality locks from each Cotswold fleece to be shipped.
We have been breeding our Shetland cross sheep specifically for handspinning. My favorite fiber to spin is long, medium fine, and crimpy. White, brown, and gray colors are available. Recently we've brought in some Icelandic blood and are offering only the lamb fleeces from those crosses. The Shetland component preserves the loft of the overall fiber and reduces the "fly-away" nature of pure Icelandic. The result: a softer, longer, more easily spun fiber.
