This wool grows continuously and needs to be regularly sheared, as it can accumulate excessively and negatively affect the well-being of the sheep. The wool from wool sheep provides good insulation and is often used in the production of textiles and other wool products. On the other hand, hair sheep do not have dense wool but rather a mixture of hair and bristles. Their hair growth is less dense, and the hair is coarser compared to the wool of wool sheep. Hair sheep do not require shearing as their hair growth is limited, and the hair naturally sheds. They do not need human intervention for shearing. ==Sheepskin - Lambskin== Sheepskin and lambskin are the hides of wool sheep and wool lambs. Sometimes sheepskin is called lambskin, even if it is not from a lamb. Lamb is a young sheep that is under one year of age. So if you want lambskin, you should ask whether it is actually lambskin or sheepskin. Sheepskin and lambskin are the skins with fur. Without the fur, they are called [[sheep leather]] and [[lamb leather]]. Sheepskins and lambskins are often sold as single pelts. They can be used for a pram or a buggy or to keep seating areas of a chair warm and soft. However, their warmth and softness also make them ideal for [[leather clothing|lambskin coats, jackets]], [[Leather gloves|gloves]], [[Leather hat|caps]], [[leather shoes|shoes]] and [[leather boots|boots]] in winter. <p align=center> [[bild:Schaf-03.jpg|125px]] [[bild:Schaf-02.jpg|125px]] [[bild:Schaf-01.jpg|125px]] [[bild:Schaf-Uruguay-02.jpg|125px]] </p> <p align=center> ''There are infinitely many sheep breeds with different fur.'' </p> <p align=center> [[bild:Lammfell-02-Merino.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> [[bild:Schaffell-02.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> ''Above: Merino lamb. Lambskins are finer than sheepskins.'' </p> The wool of the lambskin can absorb moisture up to 30% in the form of water vapour, without feeling wet or cold. The scarf structure of the wool fibre repels the dirt and thus has a natural self-cleaning quality. <p align=center> [[bild:Rohhaut-Lammfelle-001.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> ''Lambskins as [[Rawhide]].'' </p> Lambskins are 100% protein. Since protein is not a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria, lambskins are often medically recommended. Lambskins have an antibacterial effect and protect the skin. Therefore, it is used for the protection of wounded skin. <p align=center> [[bild:Schafsfelll-Sattel-01.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> [[bild:Schafsfelll-Sattel-02.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> ''Sheepskins are often placed under the [[Leather saddle|saddle]] in the Pantanal in Brazil.'' </p> <p align=center> [[bild:Lammfell-Mittelalter.jpglamb skin middle ages.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> ''Sheepskin on sale on a medieval market.'' </p> <p align=center> [[bild:Sheepskin-motorbike.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> ''sheepskin-motorcycle.'' </p> <p align=center> [[bild:Lambskin-regional-production-01.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> [[bild:Lambskin-regional-production-02.jpg|500px]] </p> <p align=center> ''Lambskin from local production in Germany.'' </p> ==Other terms== * '''Suede shearling''' is sheepskin with the suede outside and the pelt inside ([[leather boots|boots]], [[leather gloves|gloves]] etc.) * '''Beaver lamb''' is a lambskin with shortened hair (about 12 to 16 mm hair length), where the natural crimping is permanently removed by ironing and fixing. * '''Merino''' lambs come from Spain. It is the leading product in the clothing sector because it has the finest wool and can be obtained in bulk as a raw material. * Also, '''Tigrado''' lambs come from Spain. The skins have a special wool type. The hair is long and curly. The skins are much smaller than those of the Merino lambs. * And the '''Merinillo''' hides come from Spain. They are small, very light and have very [[Haptic evaluation of leather surfaces|soft]] skins. The pelt has a silky grip. Due to the rarity, these skins are very expensive. * '''Double face''' is the same as suede shearling.
