Uses, Products & Exploitation
Wool is renowned for its soft, fine texture and its unrivaled ability to shed water. Where a typical market bale (120 lbs) of average raw wool brings about 3 guilders (3g) each, a bale of Grenwich Gray routinely fetches 6 guilders (6g) or more. The sheep also produce a high quality wool grease that is a prized ingredient in medicinal and cosmetic ointments and salves.
