A very rare breed sheep with dense locks and a strong but irregular crimp in the fibers.
This is a versatile, moderate wool, great for spinning and dyeing.

Dorsey Horn Top
"Really enjoyed spinning this. Soft and easy to use as a beginning spinner."
Absolutely perfect!
"When I think of 32-34 micron wool, I do NOT think of a wool this soft. It's not absolutely silky or anything, and it may still be a bit scratchy, but this wool (exactly as advertised, by the way), is almost too soft for me to be adding to a blend for a rug! I love it, and I'm sad I only bought 500g of it. Will definitely buy more in the future!"
I love This
"This wool is amazing. It has been my favorite to spin. I wanted to raise sheep and started spinning after I realized I wanted to utilize everything sheep including the wool and now I love to spin. I may raise these sheep, because the wool to me is faultless. It spins beautifully. I have some wool left over and I want to try a light drafting method, because while I love it and it is soft it is slightly hoary in texture, but I know that was very much my drafting method. This wool is said to be versatile and so far I can see it being used for home textiles as well as clothes. Overall amazing wool and it doesn't felt. I find that a plus, but felters will find that a disadvantage."
