sheep fleece
Shorn animal covering
Sheep fleece is the woolly coat of a sheep, especially when shorn in one piece.
The term emphasizes the material as it comes off the animal, before processing into yarn or fabric: The shepherd sold the sheep fleece to a local spinner.
Fleece alone usually suffices; sheep fleece specifies the source when other fleeces (alpaca, goat) might be meant.
