Mountain & Hill Breeds

I have been busy researching mountain and hill breeds. Which breed I use for my CofA will depend on what fleece I can get. Last year I bought some Whitefaced Woodland fleece from a local lady who is also a member of one of the guilds that I attend. The staples are quite long and I think that it will be interesting experimenting with different preparation methods as well as different spinning methods. Last year I also had a Cheviot fleece from the wool board and I don't think it would be difficult to obtain another fleece either from the wool board or locally.
