Full bodied, short staple white wool
Average Fleece Weight: 2-3 KG
Average Staple length: 1-2 inches.
Micron Range: 30-32
Recommended craft areas - stuffing type crafts because of its short staple and downiness
Unique features:- Very short staple wool but full density of fibre so great for creating very spongy craft stuffing.
This is a breed of sheep which was originally developed in France, believed to derive from Merinos and Leicesters in the late 1700s!
These are hornless sheep which have white heads, fleeces and legs.
They typically have a short staple, thick and quite downy fleece.
Their fleece is soft enough to spin but it's best job is for cushion/toy stuffing as washed and dried or carded wool. It can also be nicely blended with other breeds for wearable fibres in clothing. It’s definitely not for peg loom rug making work.
