We are very excited to be able to offer for sale Orkney Boreray spinning fibre and spun yarn
from the Burnside flock. Please email boreray@runbox.com if you'd like to buy any
of the spinning fibre, yarn or fine fleece.
The DEHAIRED SPINNING FIBRE is available in bags of 110g.
EDIT 15 June 2024 - The dehaired spinning fibre is sold out but more available later in the year.
The SPUN YARN is available in a 4-ply (fingering) weight in skeins of
approx 100g or 50g. This yarn is wonderful for plain or textured
knitting or stranded work.
A few of the Orkney Boreray sheep have a unique fleece, photographed above,
that has little or no outercoat and a gorgeous fine undercoat. This is such a joy to handle and spin.
The quantities are small, although we are doing some selective breeding to try and increase
the number of sheep with this fleece.
I can take pre-orders for this fleece from the 2024 rooing.
