These unique North Ronaldsay handknits have been made exclusively in the Island of Westray by local handknitters using the traditional method of two needles to knit.Each garment can take up to six weeks to make but we always seem to have a waiting list for them, so please be prepared to wait for your order.The North Ronaldsay sheep is a rare breed whose origins date back to Neolithic times, over the centuries this ancient breed has evolved without any cross breeding.They are the oldest living breed of sheep still surviving in Northern Europe. They are very hardy and are forced to live on North Ronaldsays foreshore by a 5-7 foot high drystone dyke 12 miles long that encircles the Island. They eat a diet of seaweed which produces a unique fleece- you will even find tiny pieces of dryed seaweed caught up in the fibres of the yarn which is actually spun in North Ronaldsay, Orkneys most Northerly Island.
