If you're interested in breed-specific spinning, Devon is an interesting wool to try. It is very coarse - too coarse for any kind of garment, in my view. I spun and plied it very loosely, and even so, I could not imagine it for any kind of garment at all - and I can wear many wools next to my skin that others find scratchy. So, you will have to find another use for it. Rugs, shopping bags, handbags, perhaps. I am thinking of weaving straps on an inkle loom. The Paradise description mentions the fleece of Devon lambs, and no doubt what they say is true - but this coarse-fibered top could only be from adult animals.
