The 15 fleeces are available for only £80 Here are the details from the breeders society: BRITISH WOOL MARETING BOARD’S CLASSIFICATION OF SHROPSHIRE WOOL Wool Classification: Shortwool and Down Staple Length: 10 to 15cm. Fleece Weight: 2 to 3kg Quality: 54s to 56s Description and Use: The Shropshire is more completely covered with wool than any other Down breed and grows a particularly heavy, dense fleece. Its wool is fine with a pleasantly soft handle and is almost free from kemp and grey or black fibres. Although frequently used for woollen hosiery and knitting yarns, some Shropshire wool is used for worsted manufacture. Much of it is exported to European countries at the top stage –that is to say, after combing and before spinning. Hand-knitting wools are among the other products for which Shropshire wool is used. There is also considerable demand from Shropshire wool in Japan for filling Futons (sofa-beds). Any further questions please feel free to Call tom Based at S75 4JU, Barnsley
