Florida Cracker Sheep * SE2SE * Raw Wool * Rare Breed * Trisha

Florida Cracker * SE2SE * Raw Wool * Rare Breed * Trisha

Staple: 2.5"       VM: Minimal    Crimp:  10 CPI, Very Soft

Trisha is a ewe who has a very soft fleece.  It is a bright white with a nice crimp. Florida Cracker Sheep are a heritage breed that developed naturally over the last 400 years and is uniquely adapted to the harsh Florida environment. With their parasite resistance and ability to handle heat and humidity, they are great for organic farming.

I tested how the fleece will wash using Unicorn Power Scour and the results are stunning.  

This is an un-washed, raw fleece ready for you to scour and prepare for spinning.   You can also use this wool for wet felting, needle felting, and other arts and crafts.
