How many sheep does it take to make a sweater?
For numerous web-accessible articles on sheep, wool and how growers can supply them to buyers, search “sheep magazine” in any web search engine. Data in the magazine articles often show clip yields and uses for specific breeds. In the United States alone there are over 60 breeds, many of which don’t yield wool at all, and certain crossbreeds’ wool could be full of hair, which makes for a very prickly sweater.
