 🐑 Chris is a hogget or lamb fleece.  She has very fine, soft wool.  Hogget fleece is the first shearing from a lamb.  On any lamb fleece, you need to pull the very tip off the lock.  There is a soft spot near the tip that will come off easily during processing.  You should remove it prior to carding, otherwise, it will create nepps in your yarn. 

CVM/Romeldale is one of the finest grade wool breeds in the SE2SE list.  If you like Merino, you will LOVE 💖💖💖Romeldale/CVM

 🧴This is a Raw, un-washed fleece ready for you to scour.  I washed a sample in Unicorn Power Scour and the lanolin came out easily, leaving a bright gray to white fleece. 

🧶Romeldale is a pleasure to spin.  You can also use this wool for wet felting, needle felting, and other arts and crafts.

CVM:  California Variegated Mutant   Both the CVM and the Romeldale are unique to the United States and are endangered.  This is considered fine wool with an average of 21–25 microns.
