2021 Boreray Shearling Fleece from Bambi
This fleece is no longer available but we may have other Boreray fleeces available.
Description
This is a nice Boreray fleece with moderate softness. It comes in several pieces as she wriggled quite a lot when we were shearing her! Quite a small fleece at 475g so would make a good introduction or sample for someone who has never worked with Boreray before.

About the Sheep
Name
Bambi
Description
Bambi is our bottle-raised 2020 Boreray ewe. She was born a twin and her mother didn't have enough milk to support two lambs so we raised Bambie on the bottle. Consequently she is the tamest Boreray we have ever seen! She is a lovely little ewe and a favourite of ours. Here she is in 2020 as a lamb.
