>>I am trying to find out
which breeds I can cross to come up with really good hand spinning
fleeces and still have good rate of gain for the excess lambs to go to
market.<<

Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel(sheep), why not look at breed 
characteristics of existing breeds. There are several out there that 
would meet your expectations - a "handspinners fleece" - if there 
actually IS such a thing - is merely a clean, well kept version of 
one of the above.
