The Lost Flock: Rare Wool, Wild Isles and One Woman’s Journey to Save Scotland’s Original Sheep

Knitters, spinners and shepherds will enjoy this book which combines memoir with a history of a rare breed of Scottish sheep.

If you’re a rare breed enthusiast, work with fleeces and hand spinning, and been to Orkney this memoir is for you. What a delight to read.

Very good book.

A great book filled with tons of fibre information.

Recipient of this gift, loved it.

While I found this book very interesting, I’m guessing I’m not the audience the author had in mind. It is a fascinating story of a rare sheep breed from Scotland., and how it survived. It is in-depth and the reading gets heavily technical at times. I suspect sheep ranchers, breeders, or others involved more deeply with sheep than I am, would gain the most from those sections of the book. I am reading it as a craftsperson and artist who uses wool in my creations. It is part of a book club read for me.
