Little Skippy was found dying in a field after his mother abandoned him when he was unusually born without any wool.
But farm hand Sally-Ann Fisher, 46, revived him and made him a jumper by cutting the sleeves off a children’s pullover.
But now he is getting bigger - and still has no fleece - he needs a more custom made wardrobe to fit round his body, as well as some waterproof gear.
Sally-Ann, of Ramsbury, Wilts., has posted his measurements on Skippy’s own Facebook page and is asking people to make him some new clobber.

Nicknamed Skippy, after being compared to a kangaroo, the cross-breed Beltex-Charolais lamb was born in April.
It is very rare for lambs to be born without a fleece, but it is not thought he has any health problem.
His measurements are on his Facebook page and coats can be sent to Skippy c/o Newsdesk, Swindon Adver, Newspaper House, 100 Victoria Road, Swindon, SN1 3BE.
