What would you do with this much wool?─── 21:18 Fri, 29 Aug 2014
Earlier this week, Shaun the sheep shot to fame as he got his first haircut in six years. We take a look at how many jumpers you could knit from the world's woolliest sheep.
A few days ago, a Tasmanian sheep nicknamed "Shaun" was found and shorn for the first time in his life (and he's six years old). Unfortunately, he didn't quite beat the previous record for most wool shorn off a sheep, missing the target by almost 8lbs.
That record still belongs to now-deceased Shrek, who also avoided being shorn for six or seven years - but his wool weighed in at a whopping 60lbs (27kg).
