Found your nice blog while surfing the...Hi Kristen,<br />Found your nice blog while surfing the 'net on a rainy Oregon Saturday. <br /><br />Here's a little bit more info. about Navajo-Churro sheep wool... It comes in a wide range of natural colors, is classified as coarse and is dual coated, with a soft downy inner coat and a longer guard-hair like outer coat. A correct Navajo-Churro fleece will be open and locky with no defined crimp and wile it has a low grease content, it should be lustrous with a silky hand. Best of all it spins up beautifully :) <br /><br />Another interesting breed from a spinner's standpoint is the Jacob Sheep, which has a springy, open, multi-colored, medium fleece. It's also a lot of fun to spin. <br /><br />Okay I'll admit to bias since we raise both breeds...<br />Take care,<br />KarenKaren Lobbhttp://www.bideaweefarm.comnoreply@blogger.com
