Lambswool is a high-quality soft wool obtained from lambs the very first time they are sheared (at around six months old). Because this is virgin wool from young sheep, lambswool is finer that the wool of an older sheep and as a result the fibres are smoother, stronger and hold more elasticity.
Lambswool is soft and delicate to the touch but has excellent insulation properties. It is also breathable, meaning that it regulates the temperature of the wearer more effectively. Lambswool is also naturally hypoallergenic, and resistant to dust mites, making it a great choice for those with allergies or asthma.
