Cormo Sheep Roving & Yarns

The Cormo sheep were developed in the earlier part of the 1960s in Tasmania, Australia. To arrive at the current day Cormo, rams of the Corriedale breed were crossed with Superfine Saxon Merinos. The name Cormo is from the names of two of the parent breeds, Corriedale and Merino. Both structural and wool traits are exceptional when Cormos are crossed with existing U. S. wool sheep.

The Cormo is not promoted as a show type sheep in the U.S., but rather as a breed of economic value. Cormo sheep have a polled, open face, are possessed of a fast-growing, medium frame carrying a fleece of about 18 to 23 microns in diameter. The breed is known for producing a high generating, white, fine and long fleece with a unique degree of fiber consistency. The breed is mostly found in the southeastern states of Australia and have been exported to Argentina, China, the United States (1976), Italy and Belgium.
