P&P is included in the price of our large raw fleeces where stated and all other items start at £3.50 for Royal Mail postage. Postage can be combined for multiple orders and will be quoted on weight.
Refunds of the item cost excluding P&P will be issued for items returned in original unused condition, if they are not to your requirement. P&P for these at the buyers expense. No refunds available once a raw fleece/part fleece has been washed.

Please contact us for advice on how to get the best from your fleece purchase if you are unsure of anything. We can also match fleeces to your skill level and equipment.

Raw Fleeces

We love breeding and caring for a variety of pedigree native British sheep breeds. By purchasing wool from pedigree British traditional and native breeds you are helping to contribute to their conservation by giving them an extra purpose. We take great pleasure in offering the very best fleeces available for raw purchases.

We heavily skirt all our fleeces to remove the dirty belly and coarser back leg wool to leave you with the prime neck and body section - minimising your waste and making them great value for money.
