They eat seaweed!! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful, pristine white yarn! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour fleece is awesome! I love to see fleeces from new (to me) breeds, so thanks so much for sharing! XXO-
I love the fleece draped like it is. It is fun learning about different types of wool. I've enjoyed your TdF spinning.
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing - and they eat seaweed! Nice adaptation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lesson! I never would have known there was a sheep that eats seaweed. That's a great photo of your drying fleece and your spinning looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteLovely, will be great to hear about the North Ronaldsay, have heard it's a nice fleece to work with. Lovely colour.
