2023 Shetland Fleeces
We are fiber providers and sponsor for the Save'Em to Save'Em Project
directed by the Livestock Conservancy.
We sell professionally sheared fleeces, fleeces sheared with hand shears, and rooed fleeces.
Professionally sheared fleece come in one blanket off the sheep.
Hand sheared fleeces generally have less double cuts but may not come off in one piece.
Rooed fleeces are by tradition with Shetlands, plucked in the spring with the break called a rise. There are no cut ends making for a softer hand.
Often neck wool because it is matted or has considerable VM is offered free with a purchase of a fleece upon request.
We vacuum pack to save on postage paid by the buyer.
