Bertone: Bertone is an amazing high percentage Gotland Ram with an absolutely fabulous fleece. He has thrown gorgeous lambs for us and we just love him.
The Gotland fleece is dense and forms small and well defined locks with a wavy or open curly crimp. Although it classifies as a long wool, its fibre diameter is fairly thin; 28 to 32 microns. This results in a wool that is very soft and silky but still retains the lustre characteristic of the long wools.
