I got her a long time ago when I was mad at my hubby for traveling too much for work. It wasn't really his fault, so I channeled my frustration into a sheep purchase. Unlike all those adorable shetlands running round this farm, Betty is BIG, probably 180lbs big. And she doesn't \"Baaaa!\" Betty says \"WOOOONG!\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetty is a southdown. Her fiber is fun, but it is not for spinning straight. Southdown's have helical\/spiral crimp known for springiness, elasticity, and resilience. I think blending it in with another fine wool at 5-20% gives the perfect touch of natural elasticity. I processed her oatmeal color fiber as a single batch to give you the opportunity to add it to your blends. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thelittlefarmathens.com\/\" title=\"A small family farm located in beautiful Athens Tennessee.
