One sheep can produce or make around 4 to 5 coats depending on the size of the coat or sweater that is made from the sheep's wool.

The smaller the coat or sweater the more coats and sweaters can be made from one sheep's wool.

The larger the coats or sweaters the less coats or sweaters can be made from the sheep wool.

But on average 1 sheep makes between 4 to 5 lbs of yarn or wool which equals out to 4 to 5 sweaters or coats.

That is because a sweater or coat weighs about 1 lb when it's made from sheep wool.

I made a coat out of baby camel yarn not too long ago. And it really is a godsend! I needed much less material than with the same sheep, but the coat is quite warm. It holds its shape perfectly and absorbs moisture very well. Its breathability and insulation are excellent. Natural color makes it laconic and stylish. I buy all my materials in this store https://www.badmayarns.com/collection/camel-wool , even with delivery it comes out very economically. Now I want to try yak down.
