Navajo-Churro wool comes in a wide range of natural colors (for a list of Navajo-Churro colors & patterns click here), is classified as coarse and is composed of three distinct types of fiber: 1) Inner Coat: wool fibers ranging from 10-35 microns, comprising 80% of the fleece, 2) Outer Coat: hair fibers measuring 35+ microns, comprising 10-20% of the fleece, 3) Kemp: short opaque fibers of 65+ microns, not to exceed 5% of the fleece. The fleece is open with no defined crimp and should be lustrous with a silky hand. It is high yielding with a low grease content. Navajo-Churro sheep can grow 8" to 12" inches of wool a year (up to 1" per month). At bide a wee farm we shear our Churros twice a year so staple lengths on our fleeces, roving and felt sheets range from 4" to 6".
