This article is about the textile. For the drink, see Wassail.

Lambswool is wool which is 50mm or shorter from the first shearing of a sheep,[1] at around the age of seven months.[2][3] It is soft, elastic, and slippery, and is used in high-grade textiles.[2]

Weaner fleece is wool 50mm or longer from young sheep, that have been shorn for the first time, and which exhibits the characteristic lambs tip and staple structure.[1]
