Description
We think this fleece is really special and love everything about it. The wool is extremely gorgeous from the soft texture, the long staple and the shiny lustre. The colour is overall quite dark with grey and brown tones. It is a classic Forever Flock rug made from the fleece of and Icelandic X Shetland sheep which creates the fantastic wool quality. This fleece was turned into Felted Sheepskin with love at our small farm in Devon.

Serafina, who looks very similar to her mum, ‘Mrs Tumnus’, are the most magical looking sheep in our flock.
They both look like characters that have walked out from a storybook, as such we gave them fairytale names.
Serafina’s name is inspired by Phillip Pullman’s fictional witch.
But that’s not the only thing which is magical about Serefina, if you look closely at her photo you’ll notice she has differing coloured eyes. In the farming world this anomaly is called ‘wall eyed’, it’s incredibly rare in sheep.
We’d like to think a little of her magic is passed on in her fleece.

This fleece came from ‘The Forever Flock‘ where nature and biodiversity are a top priority – these sheep are kept for their wool, so are saved from the food chain. If you would like to find out more about ‘The Forever Flock’ and their farming ethos head over to our blog!
