| The Romney fleece is unique among all breeds of sheep in the way it combines several important traits. The fleece is lustrous; it hangs in separate locks, with minimal cross fibers between the locks. It is also high yielding and easily spun. Uniformity of crimp from the butt to the tip of a lock is also typical of the breed. Romney wool has the finest fiber diameter of all the longwool breeds; the spinning count may run from 50 to 44 (equivalent to about 29-36 microns). Ideally, the spinning count of the fleece is consistent over the entire body. It is the low grease content of Romney wool that makes it a very light shrinking fleece upon washing, and consequently high yielding. Since the value of a fleece depends on its clean wool content and not its grease weight, the Romney, whose fleece can boast a clean yield of over 70%, is one of the heaviest wool producers of all breeds. -from The American Romney Breeders website |

| I became interested in Corriedales, when a Corriedale lamb became interested in me.:) I had intended to buy another Romney lamb, but this little Corriedale would not leave me alone as I tried to choose a new lamb. The owner showed me her fleece and I was sold. So Madeline came home with me that day, and 8 years later, I am still "wowed" when our shearer frees her from her 9 pounds of fine-crimped, snow-white fluff. Junior joined us last fall as another fleece producing wether. He is a gentle giant, already showing signs of his great fleece producing capabilities. Corriedales are a medium to large sized sheep. Their fiber is classed as high quality fine wool. It is one of the softest fleeces we produce here on our farm. |
