3 Tips For Buying Fleece In Person

[@jjan8989]

It's very interesting to hear you recommend lamb fleeces as I have been firmly told to never ever ever buy one as they are often tippy due to the fleece being in the amniotic fluid and the ends of the locks will likely be brittle. Have you found this to be true?

Hello! Yes, they definitely can be that way, and that's why it's important to look at the staple length outside the tips. If the tips come off in combing/carding and you're still left with a decent 3 + inch staple length, then you're fine. I've worked with a lot of lamb fleeces that were great. As long as you ask if the staple itself is strong.
