Scholars believe the Berbers and other peoples from the region brought the sheep to the Spanish peninsula soon after, and for centuries the Merino breed was a closely guarded industrial secret -- those who tried to export the breed risked the death penalty!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn modern times, flocks of Merino sheep can be found around the world, and many cross-breeds have been developed. The merino is a highly adaptable sheep and an excellent forager. However, they must be shorn at least once a year, as their wool does not stop growing, and overgrowth can cause health issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7846\/7385\/files\/Merino_sheep_480x480.jpg?v=1678728294\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Merino_sheep.png\"\u003eOriginal: User:Fir0002 Derivative work: Charles Esson at en.wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.gnu.org\/licenses\/old-licenses\/fdl-1.2.html\"\u003eGFDL 1.2\u003c\/a\u003e, via Wikimedia Commons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Romni Wools Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Please select","offer_id":46371050160185,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Beach Daze *","offer_id":46371050192953,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blaze","offer_id":46371050225721,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bliss","offer_id":46371050258489,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bubblegum Surprise","offer_id":46371050291257,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Calm","offer_id":46371050324025,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Harmony","offer_id":46371050356793,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Heavenly","offer_id":46371050389561,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ice and Fire","offer_id":46371050422329,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Miami Nights *","offer_id":46371050455097,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Passion","offer_id":46371050487865,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rainbow","offer_id":46371050520633,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tempest","offer_id":46371050553401,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tokyo Twilight *","offer_id":46371050586169,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tranquil","offer_id":46371050618937,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Typhoon","offer_id":46371050651705,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unicorn","offer_id":46371050684473,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whisper","offer_id":46371050717241,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7846\/7385\/products\/romni-label-roving-merino-dyed-unspun-fibre-card.jpg?v=1714253431"},{"product_id":"soybean-top","title":"Soybean Top","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoybean creates a soft, strong, and exquisite fibre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100g\/bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSource: United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Romni Wools Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46525546954809,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7846\/7385\/products\/image_coming_soon_600_x_600_px.jpg?v=1775064513"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7846\/7385\/collections\/image_coming_soon_600_x_600_px_65961e49-45d1-41e2-88a6-ce98dc8c1676.jpg?v=1703889584","url":"https:\/\/www.romniwools.ca\/collections\/fine-roving.oembed?page=2","provider":"Romni Wools Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
