Unique Fleece Wall Art From Different Fleece

I made this unique piece of wall art from 4 different fleece.  The cream and brown main part, is Jacob fleece. I added some dark brown Zwartble fleece and some of Dora’s lush long silver locks.  Dora was a Texel mule, she had a fantastic fleece,  I made several items from Dora’s fleece, a rug and a wall art.

This wall art is an original item, a unique one off piece to decorate your walls and remind you of nature at its best.

Jacob Sheep

Jacob sheep have fleece that vary in colour and length of staple.  The colours vary from dark brown with golden tips, as a result they form a unique patchwork effect of warm browns and creams. The fleece locks can vary in length from a few 6cm up to 15cm and can be tight curls to a plush dense texture.  Learn more about Jacob Sheep from the Jacob Sheep Society.

Zwartble Sheep

Zwartble sheep have fleece can vary in shade of brown, the length of staplr can vary due to the age of the sheep or where on the sheep it comes from. The colour is usually dark brown with golden tips. The fleece locks vary in length from a few 6cm up to 15cm. They usually have a very springy depth to their fleece.

Texel

Telex Sheep are very big, their fleece is either cream or tones of grey which are called Blue Texel.  Learn more about Texel sheep from the Texel Sheep Society.

Mule Sheep

Mule sheep are 2 different sheep that have been breed together, learn more about mule sheep.

Fleece

The sheep must be shorn every summer to keep the sheep cool and help prevent blow fly strike.  I buy quality fleece from pet sheep owners and use a process called wet felting to felt a backing. As a result it is similar to a sheepskin rug, but far better for the sheep!

Because the sheep live outside all year round, the item could contain tiny pieces of grass, it is impossible to get every tiny piece out.  It might initially shed a small amount of fleece.
