Emma: At 5 years old, Emma stands as the matriarch of our flock, embodying a sweet demeanor intertwined with firm resolve. She is an exceptional mother, producing beautiful offspring. We absolutely love her fleece, which we shear twice annually.
Romney fleece is known for its brightness, softness, and strength. Staple lengths typically range from 4 to 8 inches, with micron counts between 29 and 37 microns, depending on the specific lineage and environment. Romneys can produce between 8 to 12 pounds of fleece per year. Fiber artists appreciate this wool for its excellent texture, luster, and versatility in both spinning and weaving, offering a balance of softness and durability suitable for next-to-skin wearables.
