| Lustre
refers to the brightness of the fibre. New Zealand Romney wool
has been developed over the years to have a high white lustre
that naturally reflects light. |
|
Due to its
strong wool properties Romney wool is known for its high even
fibre diameter with a bold lock formation (31 – 38
microns). Its uniformity is hard to match by other fibres which
makes it the fibre of choice for hand spinning and carpets. |
|
As New Zealand’s
largest sheep breed the New Zealand Romney is mostly farmed on
more developed properties. This creates low vegetable contamination.
The pedigree status of our wool also means a low presence of
black fibres. |
