Title: Shetland fleeces wanted Devon
Post by: horsemadmummy on May 10, 2012, 02:33:36 pm
I need a few extra fleeces as I need to get up to minimum order weight to get mine spun.  Can you pm me if anyone has any they are not going to use.  Happy to collect and pay!!!!  Not fussy about colours we trying to get a new venture off the ground do this year it's a big hit and miss

Thanks

We will have 5 shetlands shorn soon as they are lambing now. They have started to shed  though so I am not sure what state they will be in by the time they are shorn. When do you need them by and how much washing/preparation do you want done on them? I could happily pop them in the post to you or drop them off next time I am in the area (I drive there every month or two. We are in Oxfordshire.

I've just had 8 and half done ;) . You can imagine the state of the half. There was a 10th but that has disintegrated into bits....


Browns and greys largely, if interested.  North Devon.


Also greyface dartmoor fleeces.
