Black fleece is normally black/brown with sun-bleached tips. Its' a wonderfully rich colour which adds a beautiful depth to any craft creation.


*** Why choose our farm fleeces? ***
We farm sheep in a way that is respectful to them and the environment. By purchasing your fleece from us you can be sure that the sheep have been looked after in accordance with the highest welfare standards. Our sheep are born and raised on our own family farm on a remote Scottish island.


*** About the shearing process ***
Our sheep are all sheared by hand, on our family farm by a professional shearer, to minimise the stress to the animal. Shearing is a very important process that helps the sheep by removing last year's wool growth and ensuring that the sheep does not get too hot which can lead illness
