Similar to the ones I used to make but mine were smoother.  Yours look a lovely texture and very cuddly.

Looking at them gave me a thought I wonder what one would be like done with wenselydale fleece? Sorry my brain is most definately in design mode today

Very interesting post, full of inspiration. Cant wait for the shearer to come!! We usually let him take the fleeces to put in with his.( yes I know 'native shetland fleeces' but worth bugger all in a captive market)  I really must not waste them this year.

YorkshireLass, that is great, I loveit and the coloursm

Thank you! 

The colours are Hebridean, Shropshire, and the brown is a mutant red Heb ram lamb, who has so far escaped the abbatoir 

The Heb was very coarse and quite short and tufty, as was the Shropshire, the mutant ginger was/is a much nicer fleece. Is it too late to castrate and keep him...? 

PS - tried needle felting to take away the tuftiness/shedding, didn't quite work...
