The Perfect Fleece for Beginner Processors - Leyton's Awesome Fleece

Join me at Whispering Pines Farm as we continue our 2026 skirting series with Leyton's impressive white fleece. This particular fleece is a fantastic choice for anyone new to wool processing; it features a generous staple length of over 3 inches and beautifully formed, dense locks. Whether you are using combs or a flicker, you'll find Leyton's fleece incredibly easy and satisfying to work with. We'll go through the skirting process step-by-step so you can see exactly what makes this fleece so special for handspinning. I'm skirting fleeces in preparation for my 2026 fleece auction and I am making videos of each fleece skirting session.
