six Shetland fleeces as seen from the underside and exterior of the coat! I got these at cost from one of the farmers last week when I helped out with shearing. I am so excited to work with this beautiful wool. coat types are variable but generally fine, woolly, longer staple with not a whole ton of hair in the fleece. for the non sheep reader- Shetland are famous for coming in a bazillion different natural colors and patterns. I am going to try to match these up to their traditional Norn language names for wool colors :-)

Mines the one with white on her ears btw <3

Can someone explain to Sparrow that this *gestures wildly* is not how you mäh

Rare Breed Survival Trust still needs some various wool samples for different breeds. If you have some of these breeds reach out them! Stuff like this can go a long way to help keep rare breeds alive.

thank you for requesting something!
