Eilean Dubh Blue Faced Leicester Flock

Ava owns the show winning prized flock, Eilean Dubh. A small but stunning flock of pure bred sheep who graze the land overlooking the Kirkwall airport. These stunning sheep are great influencers in Orkney mule sheep breeding. Their wool is beautifully white and soft, ideal for many next to skin projects and perfect for my hand dyeing.

Park and Hill Cheviot

Ava’s Hill and Park Cheviots live at the same farm as her Blue Faced Leicester flock. Another locally sought after flock. Show winners and prolific producers of wool! This beautiful wool is undergoing trials for Orkney Wool Socks in 2026
