Didn't manage to secure the Icelandics, but these 4 came home with me today:

[Padge]

Thank you Sally   

The two on the left are Manx Loaghtan gimmers, both 4-horned, one has curled-in horns (I think they won't grow into her eyes but will need to keep watch on that) and the other has straight horns.

The two on the right are Castlemilk Moorit ewe lambs and are, I think, possibly the most beautiful, soft and fluffy creatures I've ever brought home 

Curly Horns is a bit aloof, Pricket comes up to me every time I go near but hasn't let me stroke her yet.  The CMs will let me do anything so long as their heads are in a bucket of cake.

My 'he' was so taken with them he wants me to try to order some in-lamb ewes from the seller.  (Gives us another 12 months before we have to decide how to handle a horned, primitive tup here...  )

[Greenmoor]

 Beautiful )

[Padge]

i think it's Tims book which has the photo of the most superb looking icelandic tup
 
I just like sheepsies

Ah they're lovely Sally - and you did get the multi-horned Manx  .    What are the fleeces like?   Spin spin spin

What are the fleeces like?   Spin spin spin 

The CMs lamb fleeces are soooooo soft  I can hardly wait!  The Manxes are shearlings so fairly recently clipped; I suspect they'll be quite a bit less soft but I hope will be representative.  I loved spinning the combed Manx Loaghtan I got from Wingham earlier this year.    (If we ever get a spinning wheel icon, those will turn into spinning wheels!  )

Super looking sheep!

[jaykay]

Very nice  I especailly like the Castlemilks 

[Mammyshaz]

They are   

[Bionic]

Castlemilk were the fleece I got from Doug. I have 6 of them 
I think (when I get round to it) I am going to try some felting with them. The Ryelands I have don't felt but their fleece is much bigger so I will have plenty of fleece for both spinning and felting.

Were they the castlemilks from Glasgow city? i was stood next to the city council man and he couldnt believe the price he got!

seeing the loagtans next to the castlemilks certainly shows their ancestory.
