The white fleece is the Texel fleece, but the Texels are crossed with Badger Face sheep anyway. The black fleece is the Badger Face and I think they are purebred and not crosses if I remember rightly! A little bit of the white fleece will be from the belly or the Badger Faces though! Still waiting to hear back from Alan at Winghams about the wheel…

A quick question, is the all white sheep the badger face torwen fleece?? I am assuming the black is the texel.

Any sign of the spinning wheel??

Thanks again

No problem Cath – thanks for the very patient tuition and free baby minding service – nice to be able to drink a whole cup of tea uninterrupted ;o)

Let me know when you are free and we can get washing the fleeces and I can give you another lesson on spinning ;-D

I have some info on spinning etc on my blog at http://www.knitterscarlet.blog.co.uk if you fancy a look.

I really enjoyed having a snuggle with the little one (and of course feeding her).

Love
