Fabric: The Hidden History of the Material World by Victoria Finlay has a wonderful chapter on types of sheep and their fleeces, and an excellent (and funny) description of shearless sheep. Apparently in the summer the fleece would molt off, and if it did not a simple tug started the process. It also covers the Soay sheep, mentioned earlier.
