This creamy white coloured fleece is heavily cotted so would make a good rug. It has a lovely texture with the soft undercoat and coarser outer coat.

About the Sheep
Name
Bambi
Description
Bambi is our bottle-raised 2020 Boreray ewe. She was born a twin and her mother didn't have enough milk to support two lambs so we raised Bambie on the bottle. Consequently she is the tamest Boreray we have ever seen! She is a lovely little ewe and a favourite of ours. Here she is in 2020 as a lamb.
