Full description
This is a bag of 50g of Dutch Spotted sheep fleece which has been washed, but not processed further.
Dutch Spotted sheep originate from Holland in the early 1800's, they were originally crossed with either Texel sheep or Zwartble sheep to give a hardy breed which was used to maintain grass and eat saplings on the embankments of land reclaimed from the sea.
Dutch Spotted sheep are mainly considered to be meat sheep and their fleeces are often overlooked.
Dutch Spotted sheep are usually dark brown in colour, almost black in places with spots of cream across the body.
The fleece is dense, with a fine crimp and no kemp. It is considered a medium wool with a micron count of 26-34. It is not a 'next to the skin' fleece, but is suitable for outer clothing and furnishings. The fleece is springy like Texel's and spins beautifully.
