Finally, the wool is here!

A long back and forth behind me - but now it's done! A big box of beautiful Jacob sheep raw wool is at my house. Now I can begin.

My wool I purchased from here: www.jakobschaf.de

some preliminary facts about the Jacob Sheep: The
Jacob sheep is one of the oldest sheep breeds. Its origins lie in present-day China and Persia. There lived 4000 years ago we know the Jacob sheep like sheep. He ended with nomads in North Africa and Europe. The good nature of the Jacob sheep made it a perfect "live storage" in English navies. After the British in 1588 before the Coast were defeated and the ships sank, some Jacob sheep escaped to nearby shore.

The imposing appearance, white with brown to dark brown spots and the two, four and even six horns made them popular souvenirs of English landlords, who kept the animals in its parks. On the European mainland, the Jacob sheep was forgotten and died out. A similar fate threatened in the 50's and her relatives in England. But some breeders of the initiative "The Jacob Sheep Society, the Jacob sheep made popular again and was able to recover the stock.

The name is more recent. It is alleged that elected Jacob spotted sheep from the flock of Laban from (1st Book of Moses). Since the breed is much older himself, however, this is probably more of a modern explanation, especially since they first mentioned in writing in 1599 a Bible in England.

Jacob sheep are among the landscapes. If you are frugal, good-natured and robust.

Now for wool:
colorful and beautifully presented to the wool of the Jacob sheep. It ranges from white to brown to dark brown - often in one and the same stack. The wool is sometimes curly, sometimes curled fine. It is suitable for felting, spinning and weaving. Processes it is to have a high elasticity (I'm curious). From the structure I would classify as medium coarse. As it I already itching in your fingers and I needed a little more than wool, I will make next week a first Rohfilzversuch ...
