AMAZING NEWS
We have a new Shrek fleece and it is longer than Shrek 2 and 3!!
Elizabeth pulled out staples that were 13 inches or 330 mm long! This
wool is sound, and cleaner than Shrek 3. This is amazing wool, when you
consider the normal staple length for merino is 65-100 mm. Just out of
curiosity or for that special project you will want some of this
extra-ordinary fibre. To order click on the order form below.

A
flock of renegade sheep has been found wandering in a far, remote corner
of New Zealand's South Island (see The Wheel issue 17, page 16 and 17).
These merino mammoths, lost in the mountains for 6-7 years, have super-long,
super-fine fleece. At 27cm (10 1/2 ins) staple length and 22 micron, this
wool is very special.
We are pleased to have obtained some of the extra-ordinary wool from owner,
David Wightman, of Winterslow Station, for you.
Ten grams of this wool, spun finely, would make a baby's bonnet or pair
of bootees.
Cost, including postage, per 10 gms NZ$5.00 (US $3.50, AUS $4.50, CAD
$4.50, Euro 3.00, GBP 2.00, Yen 375). Credit card or foreign cheques accepted.
