Collaster Croft is the home of Sheep Dreams Shetland workshop where the beautiful fleeces of my own sheep and fleeces from sheep of friends and neighbours are made into seat pads and felt products. The sheep provide mee with their their fleeces every year, I do not use sheepskins.
I process all the fleeces in my workshop, first soak with rainwater to wash out dirt, hot soak to remove some of the lanolin, open up the wool and then carding ready for the felting proceess.
All my sheep are castrated males, so no lambing at Collaster Croft. They all have names and most are very tame. They all come for a bucket of sheepnuts.
There are six coloured Sheltand, five white Shetland, two white Shetland x Cheviot and one Valais Blacknose x Cheviot.
