longwool
Lengthy sheep coat
Longwool refers to sheep breeds that produce wool with long, lustrous fibers, typically six inches or more in length.
The term describes both the fiber type and the breeds themselves—Leicester, Lincoln, and Cotswold among them.
Longwool fibers are prized for their sheen and durability, often used in worsted yarns and tapestries: a longwool fleece, longwool crosses.
