Border Leicester sheep produce a long, lustrous fiber ranging from 6 - 10 inches in length. Due to the luster, silky hand and long staple, this fiber is a favorite among handspinners, making great sweater and sock yarn. Hand knit socks from Border Leicester fleece are said to never wear out!
Our sheep are on pasture until snow falls, then we coat them to keep the fleece clean. After shearing, the fleece is carefully skirted and processed. Prices below do not include shipping. We charge actual shipping costs. Our fleece has been sold from California to New York - coast to coast! (Safari will not load the photos - Firefox will) All fleece and wool products are now available through our online Etsy store, marshcreekcrossing.
