Lambs Wool Lambs wool is klipped for the first time from young lambs when they are about 7 months old. Their fleece is softer and finer than wool from adult sheep, but not as strong. Lamb's wool is extremely smooth and slippery and has superior spinning properties because the fibre has a natural tip, which gives it a special quality. After the first clip, wool no longer has an uncut tip. The Merino sheep, raised primarily in Australia, produces fleece that is superior to that of all other breeds.
Merino wool has a softness unmatched by other wools.
The fibre is as fine as cashmere and its scales are tightly spaced, traits that contributes to its soft hand. The highly crimped fibre is strong and elastic, it felts easily and has excellent spinning properties. Merino wool is cleaner and whiter than other wools, can be dyed in clear and pale shades and is used to make high quality yarns and fabrics. For Give your wool knitwear some beauty rest with a day off between wearings. Laying your sweater out on a bed after wear allows it to be refreshed and removes most of the odours that have been picked up during the day.
