It is a little coarser but not that bad. It is good for rugs and other types of hard wearing fabric. The suffolk I have spun does not felt easily, but is extremely warm. It was a chore to spin as you say the sheep did not wear coats and it had a lot of vegetable matter. But if cleaned up thoroughly (tediously) it makes a beautiful yarn. Especially if you spin bulky. Love the pics. I was concerned about the weather on the shorn sheep, but you make a lot of sense about them feeling the cold and having their babies inside the barn. Makes it easier for the shepard also. Good luck in lambing, and get some sleep.
