Region: Herefordshire
Full bodied dense wool either white or coloured
Average Fleece Weight: 1.5kg washed and dried weight
Average Staple Length: 1 - 3 Inches
Micron Range: 30 - 32
Recommended Craft Areas:- Needle felting, peg loom rug making
Unique features: A dense wool full of bounce and colour. Although staple is short the wool hooks and drafts together which means you can still peg loom rug weave with it. The colours are perfect for sculpturing wildlife in needle felting, particularly the rabbit brown/grey etc. It is amazing both as a core wool and a fluffy top coat
This breed originated from Hereford nearly a century ago when wool was in high demand for clothing. They are compact, sturdy and adaptable to new environments. They are very woolly sheep with wool that goes down their legs and over most of their face. They typically require their face wool clipping in between full shears to help them see!
The Ryeland is a beautiful bouncy, colourful wool either in white or as a multitude of greys, browns and even a blue appearance within the fleece. This wool is amazing for colours in needle felting, peg loom rug making and spinning. The wool is soft and fluffy to touch. Very easy to work with all round!
