Icelandic – Black (Top)
Classification: DUAL-COATED
Clean combed top with minimal to no veg. Icelandic sheep have a double coat, and nearly always both types of hair have been carded together. This top is very dark brown-black, sprinkled with lighter tones. Best suited for outerwear or non-garment items.
Micron count is difficult to assign because of the double coat. Wet felting properties are excellent, also great for needle felting.

Norwegian – White (Top)
Classification: DUAL-COATED
Nice and clean combed top. Norwegian sheep come in a range of tones, this top being a natural off-white. Like Icelandic, this is best used for rugged outerwear.
Micron count is hard to determine on double-coated blends. The staple length for this top is 4 to 5 inches. Wet felting qualities are excellent, and also good for needle felting.
