Elite Wool New Zealand

It was a great day at the Capital Fibre Festival in Upper Hutt yesterday profiling the wool and crafts from the longwools - Teeswater, Wensleydale and English leicester. Lots of interest in these new breeds to New Zealand and great positive feedback with the sales of the first home grown and NZ Teeswater Wool spun here ☺️

This glorious breed is also now in New Zealand with the breed up flock here at Elite Wool and a second smaller flock at Asty farm in Upper Hutt. Using English Leicester as base ewes. And in less than two weeks we will be undergoing another round of artificial insemination using uk imported semen to produce second and third cross lambs. Exciting!
