There'll be a spinning guild near you. They'll have them I'm sure and charge something even it's a fiver a fleece. You may as well get something and people will be happy to pay. Let them know the breed, the state of them and that they are raw/sold as seen though so there're no surprises. If they know they aren't skirted or sorted that's fine. Some people even like picking out the icky bits. Weird breed, spinners! I say that in the nicest way as many of my friends are spinners and they KNOW they are odd ;D
