Teeswater Lamb #1417 Rinsed Fleece 3Lbs 4oz
Here is what Shepherds Lane is known for, incredible Teeswaters! The fiber is as alive and exciting as are the sheep that produce it. This breed is listed on the watch list of the Rare Breeds Trust in the UK, the country of its origin, and has recently been added as a rare breed on the Livestock Conservancy here in the USA. (Our flock is in the “Shave Em to Save Em” program…just let me know if you are participating and I will include your SE2SE label.) The Teeswaters have been established here by using semen and an upgrading program which we have helped to establish and continue to support with genetics and high quality breeding stock. Our flock numbers around 50 to 75 head so fleeces are always in stock as they are usually shorn twice a year.
This hefty fleece is the first lamb clip off one of our young ewes whom I rinsed before shearing. Each well purled lock ends in a delicate little lamb tip. It has super bright luster and a soft silky hand with loft and bounce. Staple length is great at mostly five to six inches. The weight is 3 pounds and 4 ounces. Most of the fleece is intact. There is only light grease as it was rinsed and it is well skirted. Some tips are slightly soiled. A light wash and you will be stunned at how bright this fiber is! Consistent character and curls throughout the selection. Hoping this becomes something truly wonderful in the hands of the right artist. Enjoy!
