I manged to get some Soay fiber from Amelia Carlson. She was able to send me a small amount of fiber from one of her own animals and one from another farm. And as a result I got both types of fleece. This fiber was challenging, but not as challenging as I feared it would be. The short staple being its biggest challenge with the slippery hairs in addition. Actually the hairs in the fibers spun up quite nicely. Here is the hairy type. And the back of this looks like Here is the wooley type.
