Whole, raw fleece from a full Tunis ewe. This fleece is beautiful, with fine crimp and very low grease fiber on the neck and back, mostly ~2-3” staple, with very fine, tightly crimped sides into the neck area. I have left some pretty short (to the eye) areas around the very edges in places (maybe as short as 1”), because the crimp on the front end of this fleece is so tight and fine that it stretches to about twice as long as it measures on the ruler (see last two photos, and note that I'm not holding tension in the stretched pic, so it's really even longer. This is a really lovely fleece!
I have SE2SE stickers upon request - please add a note if you would like one sent, I will NOT send one unless requested.

I skirt heavily, even on whole raw fleeces - I am a hand-spinner and process my own wool so I know how annoying second cuts and lower quality areas are, and see no point in trying to sell them to you, so I skirt off any of the thighs that are noticeably kempy or coarse, and I go over the whole fleece very carefully for second cuts. I can’t guarantee that I didn’t miss anything, of course, but this is what I consider wash-ready when I am processing it. I also give it lots of shaking, so a majority of the VM is out as well.
I have a number of fleeces I haven’t found time to list, including numerous alpaca fleeces in several colors, so if you’d like a sample of something else please ask!
