2021 Shetland Fleece from Elma
This fleece is no longer available but we may have other Shetland fleeces available.
Description
Elma's fleece has a nice wavy crimp with a tighter crimp along the spine. It has a good staple length and is dark brown in colour but faded to light brown on the tips due to sun-bleaching. It is cotted around the shoulders and has some new growth. Elma has yet to have lambs.
