When the postman arrived today with a big priority mail box, I was quite excited because it contained the fleece I purchased a few days ago from Point of View Farm in Upstate New York. POV raises purebred registered heritage Finnsheep. Of course, since I have a good portion of Finnish in my blood, I feel a kinship and just had to get one of their fleeces. Upon opening the box, I found a beautiful, crimpy, fleece.
I am sure many of my friends just can't understand what is so appealing about raw, sheepy smelling fleece, but my spinner friends . . . . . well, they totally understand. It just doesn't get any better than a greasy, crimpy, freshly shorn lamb fleece.
Point of View Farm's fleeces can be viewed here:

it looks so fine and crimp-y! isn't finn a fine fiber? are you going to dye it, blend it by carding?
