Hues of Hebridean

The Genial Sheep flock mainly consists of these horned sheep from the Hebrides. Their fleece is often regarded as just black, but as you will see from the rugs and throws here, the fleece has a variety of colour tones from black, through very dark brown, softer brown and grey. The fleeces' staple (the actual hair) is often very long and varies between wavy and ringlet-like curls.
