South Down

Whilst taking the award for Britains most smiley sheep Sam's Southdowns also produce a fleece that is a bundle of fun. Its creamy white and very squashy with huge amounts of bounce creating an airy yarn. 

It is a fine to medium staple fleece that on the sheep is close and tight. It is a not a spin for a complete novice but can be used to develop very fine yarns, including lace weight. It takes dye well and is great for felting.
