20% OFF Raw Fleece
This stunning raw fleece comes from Flo (#712), a NAWSA-registered Wensleydale ewe with an exceptionally pretty coat. Weighing in at 5 lbs, her fleece is full of tight, luxurious curls and a silky sheen that catches the light beautifully. The base color is a creamy white, complemented by cool brown undertones and soft natural highlights, giving it a dimensional, elegant look.
Grown over 7.5 months and sheared in March 2023, this fleece showcases the best of raw wool Wensleydale fiber—high luster, strength, and an abundance of defined, bouncy curls. It’s a joy to spin, felt, or use for lockwork, and its color makes it a versatile choice whether left natural or overdyed.

About Our Fleece
At Wild Rose Sheep Farm, we take great pride in breeding exceptional Wensleydale, Teeswater, and Valais Blacknose sheep, ensuring that every fleece embodies the highest standards of quality. Our customers consistently praise our fleeces for their cleanliness, luster, and overall excellence—a direct result of the care and attention we devote to our flock.
In just twelve months, our sheep’s locks can grow up to twelve inches in length. We typically shear our Wensleydales and Teeswaters every 10 to 14 months, while the Valais are shorn every 6 months. Valais fleece tends to have a toothier texture, while Wensleydale and Teeswater fleece are known for their high lanolin content and beautiful lock structure which lends them to have a greasier feel. Each raw fleece is meticulously skirted to remove dirt, hay, and straw, making them highly prized by hand-spinners and crafters alike.
