Hello,
I'm a dyer and hand spinner looking for fleeces with curly locks. I prefer local sources (East Midlands, South Yorkshire, but we can travel for the right stuff + right amount and good price :eyelashes:).

I'm open to all suggestions :thumbsup:, mainly because if I had to write down what I'm looking for it would be obvious breeds and I would never think of breeds like shetland gfd,  but now I'm thinking about it and it sounds interesting. I dropped you a PM because I would like to see/try their fleeces :yum:.

Dear Helen,

Dear Jo,

Thank You very much for the offer, but I'm afraid I have a local supplier of Lincoln. :bouquet:

Thank you, it's not too far, but we will be away next weekend camping in North Yorkshire.

Hi, I'm in South Lincolnshire. Will have Gotland fleece for sale in September. See my website for what it's like.
