There are many Norwegian Wools. but two that come to mind are the Old Norwegian and the Spaelsau sheep breeds.
http://www.sheep-isle.dk/ Be sure and click on the english flag and here are some pictures as well on this site.... http://www.magick.net/freyavik/kjeld.htm <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Here is the Oklahoma State URL for "Old Norwegian". It was written by my friend Trygve who lives off the coast of Norway on a smaller island with his Old Norwegian Sheep. http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/oldnorwegian/ ....and another url written by Trygve http://www.rala.is/beta/24%20Old%20wild%20sheep.htm I think the thing that they have in common is the naturally occuring short tail at birth and many times a dual coated fleece...You will find this as well in the Shetland breed, the Faroes Island and the Greenlandic breed as well. Most of these sheep are where they are as a result of travel by the Vikings...and yes they are related to the Icelandic Sheep as well. There are many colors, patterns and fleece textures. Spinning of this wool makes for heavy warm articles of clothing-especially if spun in the grease. Here is another URL that deals with Northern European Sheep breeds...enjoy it. There is so much to learn of these breeds, from meat to milk to fleece. They are amazing!!! http://www.rala.is/beta/mapnord.htm Regards, Yvonne in Oregon To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
