French Rambouillet Top

The Rambouillet wool has been prized for its softness, quality, and their origins. The history of this breed goes back to the 18th century when King Charles III of Spain gifts a flock of their prized Merino sheep to his cousin Louis XVI. The "Royal" flock was then raised and crossed with English longwools to improve the quantity and quality of their fleeces, giving birth to a breed of what we know these days as the French Rambouillet. The wool is soft to the touch (20-23 micron count), it has a natural ecru color (not a bright white) and a nice crimp. Great for spinning and felting. 

All my fiber comes from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.

I used to store my fibers with lavender sachets, but I don't anymore as I have learned that moths hate disturbances and some people are allergic to lavender. Now I dust and clean more frequently and move things around but I still include a lavender sachet with each order, unless someone requests me not to. If you don't want the lavender because you are allergic or for some other reason, let me know in the comment section, or send me a message.

I do my best to get pictures from different angles to capture and show the beauty of the color combinations. Remember that your monitor may show colors differently than mine. I'm always open to questions.


The lighting for the photos makes the colors a little brighter than they do in person, so expect the colors one or two shades darker.
