Full description
This is a 50g bag of Hebridean sheep fleece which has been washed, but has had no further processing, there is some VM in this fleece.
Hebridean sheep are small black sheep originally from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. They are thought to be descendants from the Iron Age sheep from St Kilda. Both Ewes and Rams can have multiple sets of horns and in the early 1900s they were often kept as ornamental sheep.
The fleece from Hebridean sheep is considered as double coated with a soft, warm fluffy undercoat to keep the sheep warm and a coarser outer coat to repel water.
Hebridean fleece has a micron count between 33 and 38, it is a robust fleece suitable for outer wear and furnishings. It is good for spinning and felting.
This fleece is from a yearling, so it is fairly soft and it is very dark, almost black in colour, and approx. 18cm long.
Designed by Cara Bookless in Felsted
