120gm Braid of imported White Shetland with Silk.
These tops have been hand dyed with care in the Southern Highlands of NSW in a smoke free home.
The colourway repeatable but please understand that each batch is different.
The Shetland breed is especially prized for its wool, which is fine, soft, and strong. Fleeces average 4 to 8 kilo and vary in crimp from wavy to straight. Populations of Shetlands in Britain, for example, have been selected for more standardized characteristics. These sheep tend to be single coated with fibre diameter averages of 23 microns and staple lengths of two to five inches. Eleven colours and thirty colour patterns are recognized in the Shetland breed. This diversity is a great asset both to the breed and to the fibre artisans who enjoy using its fleeces.
