Teeswater sheep originated in Teesdale, England. The Teeswater sheep are of a gentle/docile temperment. Teeswater wool is of a long staple length, with high lustor, extremely soft and kemp free. (Kemp is the scratchy fibers in some courser wools, making wool itchy). The long purley locks contain no dark fiber and hang free, without propensity to felt on the animal. Teeswater wool has a much softer handle than Wensleydale wool. Recently the breed has come to North America and remains in the developmental stages. We are excited to be adding a few fine Teeswater sheep to our spinners flock with many thanks to the Dally's of Glen Oaks!
Four of our lovely registered Teeswater ewes were L.A.I. bred and we are expecting lambs Spring 2012!
