Roddy is one of two pet sheep belonging to my mother. When she told me she wanted two lambs, I contacted a shepherd friend who sold her two lambs who would have otherwise gone to slaughter.

Roddy is a pure Romney and the yarn in the photo you clicked on to navigate here and fleece below is from his first fleece in March of 2023. It is two-tone and once it’s processed you can’t tell its original color because of the blending during combing. Being a lamb fleece it’s fairly soft and this medium grey color is a favorite of mine! I have made several skeins so far and have not only this lamb fleece (with plenty of raw still left), but also his fleece from 2024 and 2025 with his 2026 coming in March. He has gotten much lighter as he’s gotten older and it isn’t as soft but it’s very long and lovely to process.
