It is shocking how little farmers get for fleece, if Swaledale is a bit rough for knitting it might be good for needle felting, I have seen it for sale although it's one of the few I haven't tried yet! I wouldn't know how you would sell it, I've only seen tops/roving which is slightly. processed, I think but not sure that it's just carded, core wool batts are hardly processed at all, look a bit like fleece & often come with bits of leaf & grass in them! Something to think about maybe...
