2019 Icelandic Fleece
Description
A wonderful fleece from an Icelandic Ewe.
The fleece is very versatile and suitable for a number of crafting uses such as:
* Spinning
* Felting
* Weaving
The fleece has not been washed, so some vegetable matter may remain. It is also very rich in natural lanolin.
Pictures show an example fleece. This is not necessarily the one you will receive.

Notes
This picture is a representative photo and may not show the actual fleece.
We farm sheep in a way that is respectful to them and the environment. By purchasing your fleece from us you can be sure that the sheep have been looked after in accordance with the highest welfare standards.
Our sheep are all sheared by hand, on our family farm by a professional shearer, to minimise the stress to the animal. Shearing is a very important process that helps the sheep by removing last year's wool growth and ensuring that the sheep does not get too hot which can lead iIllness.
