Bluestem Farm has spent 20 years protecting the quality and the fineness of their wool. The flock last core tested at 17.8 microns. Most of the animals are 70's and 80's. Bradford spin count. This was accomplished by using "Big Blue" as the stud ram and the fine fleeced ewes. The offspring have produced large, fine fleeces.

When we speak of "fine" fleeces, we are referring to the micron count. The micron of each fiber determines how it will feel next to your skin. Many people claim they are allergic to wool because they have been irritated and scratched by a coarse wool not meant to be worn next the skin. The smaller the micron or the finer the wool, the better it will feel next to the skin. Most people can wear Bluestem Rambouillet wool next to their skin.

Every breed of sheep has a special purpose and the Rambouillet's purpose is to produce delectable meat and fine wool to be used for lightweight, warm, next to the body clothing.
