| 説明 | The Ryeland is one of the oldest English sheep breeds going back seven centuries when the monks of Leominster in Herefordshire bred sheep and grazed them on the rye pastures, giving them their name. It was introduced into Australia in 1919 and are classified as an endangered breed by the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia and also are one of the nine heritage breeds that were the foundation of the sheep and wool industry in Australia.Cololured Ryeland sheep provide a range of fleece colours and patterns from palest silver to shades of brown and almost black. The staple is medium/short with lots of crimp. The wool is resistant to felting. It can be hand spun using the woollen process to produce a warm bouncy yarn. A coloured gene does occur in Great Britain but appears to be unknown in Australia.They were considered to have the finest wool of all British breeds of the time. Queen Elizabeth I was given 'Lemster' wool stockings and liked them so much that from then on she insisted only on 'Lemster' Ryeland wool. An Elizabethan observer wrote that 'among short-wools, Ryeland has pre-eminence with Leominster as the centre of its trade'. |
