The following is a description from Stansborough Ltd
"You have just purchased the ultimate fibre; silky, lustrous, soft and pure natural grey. Unique to Stansborough, New Zealand, this sheep breed has been developed over the past 10 years to produce this very special fleece. The climate and conditions at Stansborough have enabled us to manage these delightful animals and learn to understand their particular needs over the years.
It is not the easiest fleece to spin, but we trust you will find it well worth while. Grown with fine worsted fabric in mind, this fleece needs to be spun carefully, to enhance the luster and still keep the softness. It can also be woolen spun for knitwear. It doesn't need to be spun with any other fleece added. However, we suggest you try alpaca, we have produced some exciting results!
The lambswools also felts easily - so you might like to try this option sometime. We always try and weave our special fibers to enhance the luster, by using various shades in three dimensional designs. This catches the light and gives wonderful sheen and life to the fabric -- see what YOU can do!"
