White Gum Wool sheep have never been mulesed, and now they also wag their (undocked) tails behind them.

White Gum Wool is a fine wool that is within the superfine merino range at 17-micron, Saxon merino wool. This is the calibre of wool used in the finest of Italian mens suiting, and gives an amazing softness and handle to the yarn.
