2008 Fall Fleeces
The fleeces offered for sale here are raw Icelandic fleeces from our Fall 2008 clip, which have been
heavily skirted to remove belly wool and vegetative matter. The Icelandic fleece contains two types of fiber:
the thel or undercoat that is very fine with lots of crimp, and the tog that has
a longer staple (3-6"), is less fine, and has lots of natural curl. Some spinnners prefer to spin
the raw wool into yarn ("in the grease") because Icelandic fleeces contain only a moderate amount
of natural lanolin. We only sell entire fleeces. Shipping charges within the United States are
approximately 20% of the purchase price. For shipping outside the states email us for an estimate.
If you wish to purchase some fleeces, please order on-line via PayPal, or call or email us.
Credit Cards (via PayPal), PayPal, or Personal Checks are accepted as payment.
A few fleeces from last year's web page are still available
here.
For size perspective, the blue-framed skirting table under each fleece measures 4' x 6'.
Fall shearing is scheduled for October 8th this year.
If you wish to reserve a 2009 Fall fleece, please call or email.

List Printout: If you are
interested in a hard-copy printout of this web page, to study off-line in more detail, simply select
FILE/PRINT in your browser. The current page formating is set for 0.5 inch left/right margins and 0.3
inch top/bottom margins in LANDSCAPE mode (print at 100%).
Colors: The exact shades of colors
seen here may vary slightly, depending upon the monitor you are displaying them on. The color black is
particularly difficult to photograph accurately. Often lighter shades of black will appear brown on a
digital photo. In some cases we have had to resort to a black&white photograph to accurately present the
true color of a black fleece.
Weights: The fleeces are priced according to the
weights at shearing; the shipped weight may be 5-6% less due to moisture loss during storage.
Genetics: The names above each sheep's
picture refer to breeding rams in Iceland to which each sheep is related. A VAI-Ewe or VAI-Ram is the
product of vaginal articifial insemination using frozen semen from rams currently living in Iceland.
We began using this procedure for introducing new genetics into our flock after hosting the
3rd SouthRam VAI Workshop at our farm in September of 2007.
Testimonials
"I wanted to take a minute and send you a quick email to tell you how
happy and excited I am with the fleece (SSW-092U) I just recieved today - and the picture [of the sheep]! I absolutely
love the moorit grey color, and it is amazingly clean/soft. I couldn't resist ordering another the other
day and can't wait to see Solveig's fleece in person! Thank you very much, I look forward to doing much
more business with you in the future."
(KL from Maine)
"Dear David - the icelandic fleece arrived last week and I finally got
to sort and wash it today and wanted to let you know I am really so happy with it. Lovely bright white,
soft thel and nice and clean. Thanks so much. And, I loved the sheep picture! I am really looking
forward to the spinning! Want to separate the coats and make a very special lace scarf or shawl with
the thel."
(CD from British Columbia)
"David - Brunyar's fleece arrived Friday, I've been sorting and starting
to wash his fleece this weekend. It is all I expected and more. He has beautiful long white locks, it
will be a joy to spin. I just have to decide what, which is another fun process. Please give Brunyar a
pat for me and tell him to keep up the good work. I look forward to purchasing a fleece of one of Brunyar's
pals in the future. And by the way, I really like the fact that you have a picture of the sheep next to
his/her fleece picture. It makes the shopping so much easier and enjoyable. I like knowing whose fleece
I have and what they look like."
(VB from Ohio)
