4 New Fleece Just In!

I just got 4 new fleece in! 2 are extra long Wensleydale locks and 2 are tiny baby lamb Border Licester. They are all washing out just lovely! I'll post some pics later of the ones we'll be dying.

Here is a pic of a Wensleydale from the farm I got my wool from and a bit of info about them.

 Originally from England, the Wensleydale did not exist in purebred form in the United States until 2007, when the first "purebred" lambs were born. Using A.I. (artificial insemination),  the American Wensleydale upgrade program is in the process of re-creating the breed here in North America. To be considered purebred American Wensleydale, sheep must be 96% Wensleydale or above.

  They are enrolled in the Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program (SFCP). This program is older--and more demanding--than the "mandatory" system that all U.S. sheep producers must comply with. Enrolled flocks must document all sheep, and record animals that join or leave the flock. In addition there is a yearly inspection by a federal veterinarian.
