This is true with any of the double coated wool breed, also llama. BUT you have to spend time dehairing the fleece in order to obtain that soft under coat. Some of the mills offer dehairing services, in which you loose about 50% of your fiber. The cost vs using a soft wool breed or a single coated animal is more because of the extra work envolved.
