Geelong Superfine Lambswool

Known for many years in the trade as 'Geelong', Superfine Lambswool is the finest lambswool, even in length and soft and springy to handle. It is inevitably these luxurious qualities which make Superfine Lambswool so desirable. The Sheep which grow this fibre have been carefully bred over the years to ensure that their young yield the finest micron lambswool in the world. The term 'Geelong' referred to an Australian area where this yarn was traditionally produced from the first shearing of the sheep. Nowadays, the geographical location is not finite, but the beautiful softness and handle of this lovely wool remains. Although each farm can produce tonnes of raw wool each year, only a very few bales will be superfine, making it an exclusive commodity ranking alongside cashmere as the most luxurious of natural fibres.
