Shetland

The Shetland is a breed of small sheep that originated on the Shetland Islands off the northern coast of Scotland.  The breed is noted for its fine wool fiber, which ranges in diameter from 20-30 microns, and is esteemed by hand-spinners for its feel and ease of use.  The wool is traditionally used to make the famous Fair Isle sweaters, and the finer variety can be used in garments worn on the skin with minimal prickling.
