Arctica was assessed by Judge Amanda Vandenbosch as an A- quality with "excellent fineness and soft handle" along with "uniformity of micron. Arctica's sire, Amancio is closely related to Nishio, one of Patagonia's top herdsire. Nishio was the 2004 All-American Herdsire of the Year, and the 2007 Reserve Herdsire of the Year.
