Fleece

Fleece - our Soays (browns and creams) and Borerays (cream and tan) shed their fleece naturally - but the best quality fleece has to be collected by 'rooing' or hand pulling. Soay fleece is soft, fine and a delight to spin - it is similar to Shetland fleece.

Our Hebridians (black and ginger) are shorn yearly - usually in late May or early June. The fleece is ideal for carding and hand spinning - and the colour and texture is all natural!

£2 per kilo shorn fleece - buyer must arrange collection. We don't make a profit on our fleece - the charge goes to cover the shearing costs.

Contact us if you want to gather fleece yourself.

We’d be grateful for any photos of the resultant garments this lovely, natural wool produces!
