Collection: Raw Fleece

Icelandic sheep have a dual coat which comes in a variety of beautiful and unique colours. They have a long, coarser outer coat called the Tog, and a much softer, loftier under coat called the Thel.  Many people are surprised to hear that the Thel of an Icelandic sheep is similar in softness to fine Merino!

The combination of the two layers provides the sheep with a great deal of protection from the cold and wet weather.  Spinning the Tog and Thel together results in a lofty, light weight and durable yarn.  Icelandic fleece is a favourite of handspinners, felters, fibre artists and knitters!

Our premium raw fleece is available in 150g bags and comes in a variety of natural colours.  It is from our fall clip and has been skirted, leaving little to no vegetable matter.  It has not been washed as many people prefer to wash it themselves or to work with it in the grease.

We are always skirting more fleece as time permits and will continue to add to the website as it becomes available.
