Cormo Sheep & Wool Farm

2009 Colored Cormo X Fleeces Covered All Year  

The colored fleeces are from Cormo crossbred sheep. All of the fleeces have some degree of color variegation throughout the fleece. I tried to show the different colors by showing 2 or three locks on some that have more variegation.  The lock photos don't do the colors justice but will give an approximation.   I wish that you could all see these gorgeous colors in person. The fine crimp just doesn't show up well on the photos.  Although the sheep are always covered the sun still reaches through the fabric and fades or browns the tips. The fleeces are very clean and have been well skirted. The hogget fleeces(800 #s) have the lamb-wool tips and are very soft but they will have more VM. Even though these fleeces come in natural colors the dye pot can yield some spectacular results. Fleeces over 6 lbs. may be split. Comments of hand spinners who were helping skirt fleeces.

The 2009 colored fleeces are sold out.  Get on the "emailing list" for first info on the 2010 fleeces.

We apologize for raising prices on many of the colored fleeces this year. Like many others the bad economy has hurt us too. This year there has been a significant increase in our costs especially for shearing, feed and vet services and products.
