2020 Soay Fleece from Faslane
Description
This interesting Soay fleece has quite a variable staple length (5 - 12cm). It is dark brown in colour and fades to light brown on the tip of the staple. There is a little crimp in places and is very loose. As is typical with Soay fleece, there is some hair on the legs, but not much elsewhere. A nice example.
