Scoured Targhee Fleece
Targhee is a domestically grown (New England) wool that is processed in the United States. The Targhee breed was developed at the Experimental Sheep Station in Dubois, Idaho in the mid 1900's. The foundation stock were ewes of Rambouillet, Corriedale, and Lincoln bloodlines bred back to Rambouillet rams.
Lofty, elastic Targhee yarns are ideal for cozy, soft and resilient fabrics that feel luxurious and wear extremely well. Targhee will also felt extremely well.
Additional information on the Targhee breed can be found at the US Targhee Sheep Association website.
Please note that scoured wool requires further processing as it may contain VM, dust and dirt.
