I have added photos to the "Gallery" of various shawls I have crocheted from my Icelandic fleece to show the natural colours of the sheep.
Some more photos of my rams & ram lambs added to "Gallery" to show colours and fleeces(7 Oct 08).
The Wool
I maintain a balance of earth colours within the flock of icelandic sheep, with few white sheep, as I prefer to spin and crochet natural colours, rather than dye the wool. However I can never be certain what colour lambs nature will produce from any particular mating! It makes lambing time very exciting.
Icelandic sheep have an unusual double-coated fleece that I love to turn into lopi wool.
Living the Dream
There is nothing nicer than watching my icelandic sheep of many colours browsing in the fields against a backdrop of Welsh hills and valleys. Seeing their coats glint and glow in the sunlight is sheer magic.
