The Southdown is a British breed of domestic sheep, the smallest of the British breeds. It is a shortwool breed, and the basis of the whole Down group of breeds.
 It is a medium weight, shorter wool with a staple length between 1.5-3 inches and a fiber width between 23-30 microns. The wool is quite springy with a low-luster that takes up dye very well. If you would be interested in buying one of our colour ways in Southdown base we can custom dye this for you.
