4 oz balls of Oatmeal Shetland Roving

Hamish is one of our original 5 Shetlands. He is a light Katmoget, one of the 13 different patterns of Shetland sheep. It is characterized by a light back, with dark belly and legs and badger faced markings and dark muzzle.His fleece is a light oatmeal color with grey undertones. Hamish has curly locks with some length to them. It is fine wool. Hamish is our #1 ram and sire of a majority of our flock. He is kind and respectful, a good leader, and has a beautiful head and horn-set. We have kept him on to keep breeding with our original ewes. In May, the boy band reunites with the rest of the flock for the grazing season.

We shear after lambing and before the weather gets too warm. The fleeces are skirted then sent to Illinois Wool and Fiber Mill for a gentle scouring and then carding into this fluffy roving. It is ready for spinning, felting or other crafting projects. This wool takes dyes wonderfully.
