Grease fleece is wool straight from the sheep that has not been washed. Each fleece is carefully hand-selected, lightly skirted and packaged on farm. This wool is grown and shorn in Scotland in 2026, fully traceable and low milage from farm to you.
With a variety of breed characteristics and wool types, there's lots of wool to choose from. Perfect for hand spinning, felting or a variety of fibre projects.
