FLEECES
At Shiloh Wool, on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, we produce natural-coloured wool for hand-spinners and wool-crafters. We run a small flock of black, brown and white Bond X and Comeback-type sheep, most of which are coated throughout the year to keep the fleece-wool as free of contamination as possible. After shearing, in October each year, each fleece is rolled up with paper and individually wrapped and labeled. Our fleeces are checked and re-skirted if necessary before dispatching to spinners across Australia!

COMBED TOP
At Shiloh we match fleeces which are similar in colour, style and micron, to blend for top-making. To make top, the scoured wool is gilled and combed to align the fibres. This doesn’t alter the natural colours and the wool is ready to spin from the roll or pack with no further preparation and little or no waste. Your newly-spun yarn can be knitted up straight away, greatly reducing the time taken to produce the finished garment! Spinning from combed top makes it easy to produce a smooth, strong yarn and combed top is also excellent for anyone who has an allergy to the wool-grease (lanolin).
We also stock white Merino and Silky Wool tops.
