Teeswaters are considered an endangered breed. More can be read via The Livestock Conservancy below.
The Teeswater sheep breed was developed in the Teeswater region of England. In the 1920s the breed was faced with near extinction. The lustrous, low-lanolin, kemp-free fleece of the Teeswater is appreciated by hand spinners for its staple length and fine, long curly locks. Fiber growth is up to one inch per month with little to no cross fibering. Teeswater sheep were imported to the United States in the 1800’s but lost popularity due to importation of other long wooled breeds.

The six-petal rosette (also known as a hexafoil) is an ancient geometric symbol formed by overlapping six circles within a larger boundary. Revered in sacred geometry, it is the foundational building block for complex patterns like the Seed of Life and the Flower of Life. Dating back to the Bronze Age, the symbol appears globally in Celtic, Egyptian, Roman, and early Christian art. It has historically served as a protection symbol for the home.

More about Desi wool via Handa:
The nomadic pastoral herders of Kachchh, India are known as Maldharis, they have been in co-existence with the native desi sheep for centuries- walking together for months across the country in search of pastoral grazing lands. They provide fleeces for a cooperative of artisans who wash, handspin, dye and weave the yarn in their villages.
This desi wool is handspun - a ‘natural’ (undyed/unbleached) yarn held with a fine warp of the local indigenous ‘kala’ cotton. which gives it a slightly smoother finish than is typical to the rough desi wool.
A sustainable sheepskin alternative
Sheep have been domesticated and bred to produce thick, heavy coats that do not shed. This means they rely on farmers to shear them annually. We take the raw, dirty fleece from their annual haircuts and piece it back together using various felting techniques. Traditional pelts have leather (skin) on the back of the fleece. Hence the name sheepskin. These are dead animals. No animals are harmed via our method of production.
