Description

This listing is for one whole raw fleece, 700 g Gestrike wool, no 651

This wool is well sorted - no tummy, rump or leg wool and next to no hay or vegetable matter - comes from a pure Gestrike ewe who lives on a farm near lake Mu00e4laren, Sweden.

Colour: Natural dark black with brown tips
Fibre length: up to 9 cm (lambs' first shearing in September 2023, at about 6 months age)

This wool is very soft and has a sweet lamb lock at each staple tip! There is quite some air in the fleece, and it is very fine!

Suitable for spinning a soft yarn, or for felting.

Gestrike is a heritage breed of sheep in Sweden, and it is included in a conservation program.

Gestrike wool can have many different colours, and often have patches of them on the same individual. The wool has both under wool and longer guard hairs. It is renowned for good spinning characteristics, but also felts well.
