2024 Leicester Longwool Fleece from Enid
Description
This is Enid's third shearing. This means that the staple is a bit shorter than it has been before, and it may appear slightly cotted, however it is easy to tease out, especially when washed. It is lovely and wavy with a lovely lustre.

V.M.
there is some VM, but most is large and superficial which will come out with processing, there is very little ingrained.
Notes
There are bits that may appear to be dirty, but it is only where she sits down and it gets a bit muddy, most of the dirty bits have been removed. There may be a bit of kempy hairs around the hind leg area.
