Full description

One of my simple spindles, 100g (3.5oz) of North Ronaldsay Fibre, plus illustrated instructions, all in a presentation gift box.

Why North Ronaldsay Fibre?

This fibre is much easier to use for beginners, the length of the fibres is not as long, the fibres grip together better. North Ronaldsay sheep are a very primitive breed, but unlike many primitive breeds have a relatively fine and soft fleece. This is a rare breed that only lives on the island of North Ronaldsay in Scotland, for much of the year it grazes the shore of the island eating seaweed. By buying this fibre you're supporting an ancient industry and way of life that goes back to 3000BC.

For more information about this breed take a look at the Rare Breeds Survival Trust Webpage- http://www.rbst.org.uk/watch-list/sheep/northronaldsay

North Ronaldsay fibre comes in a choice of White, Grey or Brown, you can choose 100g of just one colour, or combinations of 25g (totalling 100g) of any of the 3 colours.

Please note, this fibre varies in it's shades of grey and brown, some batches are darker, others lighter.

For UK buyers I will send this item Second Class as it helps keep the cost down, if you need it urgently send me a message and I'll send you an adjusted invoice.
