Gray Wolf, Coopworth/Romney X Locks, 2 oz
These are BOBB because they are slightly tacky feeling after being stored. Rub between you hands and they soften up beautifully.
Silver with brown highlights reminds me of the pelt of a gray wolf! Gently comb out a few locks and add to the back of your wolf pelt to add depth and dimension to your sculpture. These are also perfect for gnome beards and for adding to you 2-D wool painting palette.
3-4 inch staple length with little to no vm and a pretty wavy lock.
Enjoy!
Auburn Karakul Lamb Locks, 2 oz
Lovely, lovey auburn tipped lamb locks with bright white to light gray butt ends. The signature Karakul lamb purled tips are a joy! There are a few shorter curly bits but mostly 4-7 inches long locks. This Karakul fleece is double coated with a coarser, longer outer coat (auburn) and a shorter, softer and fluffier undercoat (mostly bright white). Take care when separating the locks so as not to separate the long guard hair from the shorter fluffier bits.
This fiber is mostly very soft with some coarser bits. Ive tried to include all the lock structures in each bundle.
Carded and spun this would make a lovely yet strong yarn.
Enjoy!
Border Leicester Curls, 2 oz
What a magnificent fleece! These natural Border Leicester locks are uber soft despite being from an adult ewe, are 4-5 inches long with a gorgeous wave and curl. Most locks are gray with taupe tips with some being a darker brown with mocha tips and are curlier. You will get some of each. There is little to no vm.
Lovely for 2-D wool painting. Long hair for dolls/girl gnomes or a handsome beard.

Churro Lamb Locks , 2 oz
These are delightful 3-5 inch, soft locks with no vm. They are creamy white with some gray and make the most wonderful gnomes beards.

Icelandic Witches Hair, 2oz
Witches Hair is back!
This is a lovely Icelandic fleece from Queso Cabeza Farm. Locks are clean and free of most all vm, 4-6 inches long and are double coated. Double coated means that there are two part to each lock, a soft fluffy undercoat with coarser, longer guard hair. In this fleece the guard hairs are black and the undercoat white to gray to black. Take care when separating the locks so as not to pull the two fiber types apart.
Traditional Icelandic yarn takes advantage of the soft warm undercoat for warmth and the longer guard hairs for strength and water proofing.
Enjoy!
