Fleece For Sale
6/9/2010 - 2010 wool is just now being listed as they are shorn off. We are in full swing!
I closed my Ebay store spring 2010 so any listings will be made under the user name catherinetsizer. Look for my wool here http://myworld.ebay.com/catherinetsizer/
If you wish to see what other buyers have to say about my fleeces, please look at my wife's feedback. Her user ID on Ebay is catherinetsizer. The fleeces below will be continuously listed on Ebay so you may buy them there if you wish or straight off this website. We take checks, money orders and PayPal.

Fleeces currently available are listed below. We ship UPS and USPS and also DHL. You will be charged actual shipping. You may email fleeces@sizerfarm.com for a quote. I sell them either individually or as a group; however many you want I can send to you.

All fleeces are sold by the pound. Individual pricing using this pricing scheme is indicated by each fleece in the fleece listing (below). The pricing is as follows:
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.
all black wool - $8.00 per lb.
I also have some tag wool which also contains belly and head wool. There's some good spinning wool in this mixture for a bargain - also excellent for felting. The bad yucky clumps of manure covered wool were not put in this bag. And the stuff that is a bit manure-y can be used for gardening and mulching. It's $1.50 a pound, five pound minimum.
GENERAL INFORMATION
2010 wool will be sold by the whole, lightly skirted fleece. The staple length listed are the longest fibers in the fleece so you can expect most of the wool to be 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. There may be some double cutting but I have tried to avoid that as much as possible.
Here is a picture of a finished roving and yarn made from my wool and dyed with Koolaid. Beautiful, soft and fluffy! If you are interested in purchasing roving or yarn like this, please email fiber artist Susan Fitzsimmons directly at Sharon@fitzsimmons.com
