The Cormos
Perry and Prince strutted into Wethersfield in July of 2016—twin lambs with attitude, purchased from Kristin Knits Farm in Breezy Point, Minnesota.
Perry got his name because, honestly, if you have a Cormo and don’t name him Perry, what are you even doing? It felt inevitable.
Prince, on the other hand, was named in honor of the legendary musician, since he was born the very week Prince passed away. But he quickly proved the name fit for another reason too—within a week of arriving, he dramatically removed his own ear tag like a true diva rejecting labels.
Cormos were developed in Tasmania, Australia. It is the result of a cross of Corriedale rams to Merino ewes. Cormo wool has well-defined crimp, which gives it excellent elasticity. It is next to the skin soft and needs a delicate hand when processing or it will tangle and nep, causing bumps in the finished product.
Both Perry and Prince have an average of 4 to 5 inch staple length and their fleece average between 8 and 9 pounds each, in the grease.
