Hugs and her newborn lambs

A couple of years ago, we started noticing cormo and colored cormo cross fleeces at wool shows.  They were consistently luxurious, soft and beautiful!!  We simply couldn't resist.  Last fall, two cormos joined our flock.  Twin ram lambs were born this spring.   Four beautiful colored cormo crosses and two more purebred cormo ewes joined our flock in 2011.

The Cormo breed originated in Australia as a result of crossing superfine merinos ewes to Corriedale rams. Original selections were strict and used specific measurable criteria such as fiber weight, fiber diameter, fiber diameter consistency, and body weight. This method produced  sound animals with outstanding fleeces repeatedly.

Handsome Cal

A typical cormo fleece weighs 9-12 pounds (before skirting), has a staple length of 3.5-5.5 inches, and a fiber diameter of 17-23 microns.  Its crimp is fine, even and well defined  Cormo wool has excellent felting qualities.  It takes up dye beautifully and has luster.

Hugs and Cal
