A special word About Clun Fleece:  Clun clips are moderate, 6-8 lbs, but the quality is exceptional, considered by a spokesman of the Scottish, English, and Welsh Wool Growers Ltd, to be the finest fleece produce in Great Britain.  Handspinners in  this country agree. Clun fleece is beautiful, dense and uniform, grades mid-50's, staple length about 4".  It is creamy white, extremely springy and easy to spin into very soft  yarn.   It feels soft and luxurious against the skin when knit into sweaters and is also excellent for weaving

The Original Spinner's Flock:

I spent the first few years playing with crossbreeding to see what I could develop in the fleeces and was fairly pleased with some of the results.  The spinners' flock now is basically Border Leicester-Tunis (a BLT!), Finn-Dorset, and Border Leicester-Cheviot crosses.  I'm excited now as I see what crossing these with my Clun Forest ram brings to the fleeces.
