California Red Fleece is really something special! It has a micron in the low 30s and is often mistaken for fine fleece in sheep shows. It has a nice body and gentle spring to it's texture. Hogget fleece retains its raspberry lamb coloration. As the sheep become more mature they have less of the reddish tones but some do retain more than others. The fleece is a natural oatmeal that shades into the raspberry tones. No two fleeces are alike. All California Red fleece has the raspberry colored hair scattered throughout. It is not coarse textured hair. It gives woven yarn added interest.
We have beautiful California Red roving available at $32.96/pound.
