Brown Faroe Island Wool Top
It's believed that this breed was originally introduced to the Faroe Islands by Norse settlers during the time of the Vikings. Over the centuries the importation of sheep from both Iceland and the Scottish Isles has resulting in a better quality of wool and improved meat production.
The Faroe Islands actually take their name from the Old Norse word for sheep, faer.
The striking natural colors of Faroe Island wool makes it an ideal choice for spinning, felting and other crafts. Similar to the Scottish Isles, the Faroe Islands have long been known for their knitted wool clothing.

"I am a Weaver if Southwestern style rugs and blankets. I usually use Navajo Churro blends for my weaving, but much of the Churro of today lacks the softness and luster of the Churro pre 1860 before the US government decimated the herds. This Faroe Island wool reminds me of that early Churro and I am loving using it in my blends. I hope you keep carrying this product."
