All 2008 fleeces are all sold by the pound.  Individual pricing using this pricing scheme is indicated by each fleece in the 2008 fleece listing (below).  The pricing is as follows:

staple length less than 3" - $3.00 per lb.
staple length 3" to 3 1/2" - $4.00 per lb.
staple length 3 3/4" - $6.00 per lb.
staple length 4" and up - $7.00 per lb.

There is one exception - the black fleece with the short staple length is sold at the same price as long staple length wool. 

GENERAL INFORMATION

My wool is mostly sold by the half fleece which I split down the center of the back from head to tail. Each halved fleece was assigned a number and each half is the same number - A or B - so if you want a full fleece simply purchase both A and B of the same number.  There are a limited number of full 2008 fleeces available. The staple length listed are the longest fibers in the fleece so you can expect most of the wool to be a bit shorter than the length listed.

I have been told by a spinner that the wool has a medium/fine crimp and is very durable.  Most have indicated it is good to blend with finer wool to give the finer wool strength.  I do not spin myself nor do I claim to be an expert in wool so if you have any specific questions regarding the texture and use of this wool please consult an expert - not me!  I'd be happy to send a small free sample to you if you want to look it over first.

The sheep are fed hay off the ground during the winter so there should be very little vegetable matter present.  The sheep were fed some grain the winter of 2007 due to drought conditions so there might be a little more VM in the wool from that year. The fleeces have all been skirted to the best of my ability and I tried to avoid double cutting the fleece when shearing.
