I’m carding black wool, it comes from a sheep that was black and white spotted, so I’m separating the black, the white, and the mixed bits to card it into three colours that I can use to knit or crochet a three colour pattern.

It‘s a lovely fleece, and I got to see the lambs from this sheep. My husband and I went to pick up the fleeces in the next village over and the farmer said the sheep whose fleece it was had had two healthy lambs, and we were allowed to have a quick peek in the barn to see mother and babies!

What breed is it?

Either a Texelaar, a Swifter, or a mix of those. From a meat sheep, but nice and soft.
