Nearly 2lbs. This is not a big sheep as you can see. As I am trying to take photos, I realize he must have spent the day rolling in the hay because that is going to be a major part of working this wool If you have some little helpers around, it could be fun (I recommend picking it  before you wash it). The staple is from 2-3 inches and it is going to be soft was you have it washed.  rdhsLt1
