Our sheep are registered with the North American Shetland Sheep Association under the flock name “Leafhaven Shetlands”. They are small, hardy sheep with outsized personalities. Their wonderful fleece comes in a wide range of possible colours and patterns.
ooh, love to hug them. Is their fleece short or long? I am a knitter and had often use shetland wool…is this similar?

They really are huggable! The full fleece length in our flock averages around 5 inches. There is a lot of variability in Shetland wool available in North America. In our flock we aim to meet the original breed standards of very soft and crimpy. It’s a fascinating process.
