Greyface Dartmoor - Adult

Greyfaces are a native longwool who over the years have been improved by adding sheep like the Lincoln Longwool to their breeding. 

The fleece produces a long staple - this one at its maximum is just on 12 inches - it is fine, more like hair and strong. It can be difficult to spin alone but creates a wonderful lustrous yarn when mixed with a more downy breed like Dorset or Romney. Greyface is good for needle felting and dolls hair type projects. 

These Greyface live with Mark at Lower Boasley and originate from the Lily Warne Flock.
