2023 North Ronaldsay Fleece from Florentine
This fleece is no longer available but we may have other North Ronaldsay fleeces available.
Description
Apart from being slightly cotted in places, Florentine's fleece is otherwise loose and open. It has a lovely long wavy staple and would be ideal for either a living rug or a spinning project.
