Targhee - Washed Fleece by the Pound

Weight: 1lb+ increments - 2lb 14oz Total
Materials: EJ of Ramshead Wool
Unstretched Staple Length: 2.5"

This is undoubtedly a project fleece that needs some love and care and it is priced accordingly. It is fully washed and ready to process. It cleans up BEAUTIFULLY, but it takes time. As a range-grown uncoated commercial fleece, the main avenue to source Targhee, there is a solid amount of VM, a lot of dirt content, and some second cuts and nepps included. A flicker or handpicking will take great care of this. You might be able to do combs, but the staple is a bit short. When opened up, this fleece makes a BEAUTIFUL carded wool. Rolags and batts from this will be fluffy and divine if given the care to get there. Included is a photo of some batts we did with this one, so you can see it worked up a bit. It is extremely plush, soft, and insulating. The batts felt dense and hefty in the best way. If this sounds like a fun project for you to unearth the gold, this is the fleece to play with.

Excess shipping will be refunded at time of label purchase. We cannot guarantee a color ratio from washed fleeces. Vegetation (this can include burrs, so be careful!) will and nepps could be present. This listing is for just washed farm fleece that will need to be prepared before spinning. We source clean and strong luxury wools from a variety of small farms.
