[Jacob-list] wether fleece

Fred, you wrote :

Could you explain this a bit more please - I am a spinner but am not aware
of a great difference between wether fleece and that from other sexes,
except that there are not likely to be breaks in the fibres caused by
illness or stress. Are you saying that wether fleece is stronger because it
contains more protein ? What is the evidence for this ?
