A note about the Nash Island - For those not familiar with this fleece

It's also lovely and easy to spin

It's not super soft and cottony like cormo, but has a great texture and sheen, more like a long wool, but not as much as, say, mohair. It reminds us most of North Ronaldsay, which also is a seaweed eater : ) Please note that the fleece in these batts is fresh from the farm!
