    I don't believe that Babydoll Southdown wool is similar to Cashmere Hair. Now just like with Sheep have different grades for there wool the Cashmere breed has different grades for there hair and to me there fibers are very different. Nothing what I would call "Similar" Chris

There are beans that will take the canning well and there are some that do not can well they will either fall apart or get hard as rocks. A good seed Co. should state weather or...
