	Cotswold
		The Cotswold breed originated in the Cotswold Hills of Gloucester, a south midland county of England touching the Bristol Channel.
		The name "Cotswold" was given the breed because in the early days they were folded or housed in shelters known locally as "cots" or "cotes" and they were pastured on the wild, treeless hills of the area, called "wolds".
		He based his opinion on the fact that the Cotswolds of the middle nineteenth century were a long-wooled breed of sheep, whereas the sheep that had formerly inhabited the hills were noted for their fine wool.

		Cotswold fleeces should grade from 42 to 48 on the Bradford scale or 42 to 36 microns and should hang in lock formation.
		Originally bred to thrive under the exposed conditions of the Cotswold hills, the breed does well on upland farms and its hardy, thrifty qualities are of great interest to the modern farmer.
		Until recently the Cotswold clip was collected together with other lustre wools and used mainly for carpets, bunting and industrial cloth but it is now being used alone very successfully for loose-twist worsted spinning and weaving into a delightful range of soft furnishing throws and also for producing attractive knitwear.
