The wool on Guinevere's lambs is so odd. It's open, not as much lanolin in it, just strange and unlike all other Babydolls that I've felt and seen. Both are rams, so I can't keep one to see how it develops. And their sire, WoolyBully, was sold, so I can't repeat the cross. The others sired by him have normal wool, so maybe its Guin & Wooly combined that makes the odd fiber. Her other lambs, from previous owner, are normal. Hmm

Oh, how could I of forgotten!
Piccolo is from half siblings, WoolyBully. She seemed to have a real open coat, too. But it didn't seem odd after rain.
She hasn't grown much new fleece yet, so I'll have to keep up with it.
