This is a very nice fleece.  It does have some parts that need skirting out.  The fiber is nice and soft, but a bit dusty.  Unfortunately, there is also a little tearing in the wool that makes it a little weaker and will need to be processed with care to avoid pilling.

Cactus Hill Farm is a Certified Organic farm. We do not certify our sheep or wool but our sheep are raised on organic feed and pasture. We like our animals to have space to roam, so all of our sheep are left out on pastures during the year and only penned up when babies are young. Cactus Hill farm is a multi-generational family farm and we strive to be good stewards of our land and of the lives we care for. All of our fleeces are skirted and the yuckiest parts removed.
