2023 Boreray Fleece from Fiona
This fleece is no longer available but we may have other Boreray fleeces available.
Description
We only managed to collect a small amount of Fiona's fleece as she shed most in the field. What we did collect had quite a long staple for a Boreray (10-15cm) but also contained quite a lot of hairs which is a typical feature of a Boreray fleece.
