I just have to chime in here, because I am a "woolie" person and I needle felt and I have a wide variety of sheep! My recommendation would be Finn sheep. Nice open face, clean wool breed on the smaller side, their wool is great for spinning and really good for needle felting. I have some white ones and some brown. I really like their wool, it's one of my favorites. I also have Shetland, Jacob, Cormo, and Tunis, an Icelandic, a Corriedale/Leicester and a Border Leicester. But the Finn have my favorite wool for felting. The Border Leicester is not my favorite for spinning or felting.

Good luck with the house and the fencing and the sheep! I'm in VA too, but a few hours north of you. If I can be of any help, let me know!
