Rare Breeds Roving Shetland

Here is one of the first Rare Breeds Rovings, this is Shetland Roving.
The Shetland Islands are located off the North of Scotland.
Some very remote and beautiful islands.
The Shetland sheep are a hardy breed and there is a long history of sheep rearing, spinning and knitting from these islands
The famous "wedding ring shawl" a shawl knitted with such fine yarn that it can be pulled through your wedding ring originated here.
