The Rambouillet wool has been prized by its softness, quality and their
origins. The history of this breed goes back to the 18th century when
King Charles III of Spain gifts a flock of their prized Merino sheep to
his cousin Louis XVI. The "Royal" flock was then raised and crossed with
English longwools to improve their quantity and quality of their
fleeces, giving birth to a breed of what we know these days as the
French Rambouillet. The wool is soft to the touch (20-23 micron count),
it has a natural ecru color (not a bright white) and a nice crimp. Great
for spinning and felting.

I do my best to get pictures from different angles to
capture and show the beauty of the color combinations. Remember that
your monitor may show colors different than mine. I'm always open for
questions.
