Our Jacob Fleece

 
 

It starts with our lambs…

Our Jacob fleeces really start out at lambing time as we look for good coloration and those nice tight curls.

The Jacob Fleece

Most of our Jacob fleeces are chosen by hand spinners right off the shearing floor with some being reserved from year to year. The remaining fleeces are carded into batts or spun into yarn.
