I got mine done there and am mostly pleased with them. One of the brown Shetlands was fairly felted up, but not sure if the wool structure was just too fine or something.

But the Gotland x Shetland ones are lovely.

These are Gotland x Shetland skins? Mine are similar. I can't wait until I get my grey ones to the tannery this autumn....

I had my Ryelands done at Nikki Ports. Very pleased with them. Mine were £35 each as they were lambs.
