How much does a pound of lambs wool cost?

Answer 1

It depends greatly on what the wool is intended for and what form it is produced in. Knitted sweaters, for example, are much more costly ounce for ounce than wool yarn, which is more costly than wool roving, which is more costly than an unprocessed fleece.

It also depends on the sort of wool being produced. Some wools are more desirable than others. For example, shetland wool will generally be more dear than corriedale and requires greater care in production.

Then consider how the individual animals are kept. Kept on pasture it costs less to feed them, but the quality of the wool suffers from more vegetative debris such as burrs. When great care is taken to keep the animals clean it costs more, but the quality of the fleeces being produced is much greater and they fetch a greater price at market.

Lastly, consider how the fleece is harvested. If a professional sheers the sheep with no "second cuts" then the fleece will be worth more money than if an amateur sheers it with less skill.

Your answer depends on how much you want to purchase, whether it is baby alpaca wool or spun from adult fleece, which colours you want or if you choose a natural colour.

A local yarn shop can show you samples and give you prices.

Answer 3
