I picked this up at the Few HQ 2 weeks ago, just as a cold winter snap hit NZ.
The wool is very curly and tight, it didn't respond well to being cropped to 7mm, it's between 10 and 12 mm.
During a previous visit to the Few, I saw the skins, a sample set of 5, from NZ Merinos, fortunately enough for this jacket.
The fleece reminds me of a skin I had beside my bed that came off the back of one of our homekill dogtucker ewes.
The jacket is not as light as I planned it to be but I'm very happy with it.
