1 Falkland Isles Wool
Sheep breeding is about the most important industry of these islands. While not quite so valuable as the Punta wools, nevertheless, the original Cheviot strain introduced by Scotch settlers is always apparent in the wools grown today, and where tweed effects are desired they are often used in combination with wools of a like nature, and for knit goods. The quality range is from 46's to 50's, and the wool is a coarse type of Cheviot having a fibre somewhat harsh and weak, but of a good colour.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Falkland Isles Wool
