Famous for its use in Shetland Shawls and in the Shetland wool industry, the Shetland sheep grows the finest wool of all the UK breeds. Shetland wool is light, open, incredibly soft, silky, and luxurious. The fabulous wool traditionally used for Shetland shawls comes from the neck of the sheep. Wool can be harvested by rooing or plucking but now is mostly shorn. A beloved sheep to all handspinners.
