100% Cormo Combed Top

The Cormo sheep breed was developed in Tasmania, Australia by breeding superfine Saxon Merino ewes with Corriedale rams. The name Cormo was created as a contraction of Corriedale and Merino. 

Cormo fleeces are very consistent with a micron count ranging between 17 to 23 microns. It has a well-defined crimp which gives excellent elasticity and fluffiness. This combined with a staple length of 3 1/4 - 5 inches makes it a wonderful handspinning fiber. 

Cormo will felt moderately well.
