Comet loves to eat! When I visited the flock, she was chowing down on hay and made quite a mess (as you can see in the video). It's unsurprising that she has some embedded VM, but it's not noticeable given her dense fleece. This is a super cozy and thick rug that feels luxurious underfoot.
Breed Note: Jacobs are an ancient sheep breed known for their striking spotted ("piebald") fleece and unusual polycerate horns: both male and females can have two, four, or occasionally six horns!
What is felted fleece?
Animals like sheep, angora goats, and alpaca are shorn regularly as part of their ongoing care. Through a wet felting process, we use wool to create a durable backing while preserving the natural individuality of each fleece. These pieces, also called living rugs or vegetarian pelts are made entirely from fleece with no animal skin or hide. Learn more about our process here!
