2021 Shetland Fleece from Newhall Kiki
This fleece is no longer available but we may have other Shetland fleeces available.
Description
This is a prize winning fleece - it came 1st in the black fleece class at the Shetland Sheep Society National Show & Sale in September 2021. It is black with sun-bleached tips. It also has a slight banding of lighter colour through the middle of the staple which I've tried to capture in a photo. It is incredibly fine and lace-like as can be seen in the photos. It has variable staple length, down the back is shorter.
