Herdwick #9

Description

Happy Lake District Sheep!  These are delightful little sheep – but their wool is coarse and challenging.  I wouldn’t consider it for underwear unless you’re aiming for a hair shirt.  But it’s sturdy and makes great braided rugs and indestructible blankets when you need warmth, water repelling qualities and hard wear.  Light VM and fairly clean, the locks are blocky, have breed typical kemp and some weathered tips.  The color and staple variation is beautiful and tweedy.

Average staple 2.5-3.5″

Price is for 1 oz, minimum 4 oz.
