From our pure bred Welsh Mountain Badger Face sheep we have Torwen (black) and Torddu (predominantly white with some black/grey) raw, unwashed, undipped fleeces for sale for hand spinners, knitters, weavers, felters and craftspeople.  There may be the odd spot of coloured marking spray on the Torddu, but these can be picked or washed out and soiled parts are removed. 

According to the British Coloured Sheep Breeds Association , the wool from both types of Badger Face is firm and of medium length. Averages: Staple length 7-10cm, Bradford count 46-56, Micron measurement 37-28, Weight 1.5-2Kg

The photographs show examples of this year's fleece, (black Torwen top row, white Torddu bottom row) a Torwen ewe immediately after shearing, and a Torddu ewe in Spring 2008 showing the amazing insulating qualities of her fleece!

From Autumn 2008 we will have Torddu lambskins available.  For fleece and lambskins please check out our price list for further details.
