Shetland in roving form.

It is thought that Shetland sheep desend from breeds brought over by Vikings to the Shetland Isles of Scotland many years ago. Shetland fleece comes in many colours, from Black to grey and Moorit (reddish brown) to natural white (creamy) white.

Shetland fleece is ideal for both wet or dry needle felting and spinning and is a great alternative to Merino. Shetland can have a wonderfully soft handle and is well known for it's warmth and comfort when spun into yarn.

Count: 28-33 micron/Bradford 50-56
Staple: 10-20cm

I hope this helps?
