She lived to be 10 years old, and in her last fleece, I could not find a single grey hair. It was so amazing. By then I had started to look for more sheep with that colour in my flock and the mother and daughter Tinna and Hrefna were equally black. The good thing about all these sheep is also that their wool is very soft and\u00a0 very often rather easy to spin into nice beautiful yarn. I usually use it for hulduband, getting an extra good pattern colour in my sweaters. Or the main colour. But when the sheep gets older, it\u2019s tog gets weaker in the fleece and parts more easily. Then I use the black colour to make hj\u00f3naband which is the yarn with almost only thel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13148\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13148\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13148 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/320423439_711191070309807_2638337863904652449_n.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/300;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Fullkomlega svartir lokkar.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Stundum heldur f\u00f3lk a\u00f0 garni\u00f0 sem er af hreinsv\u00f6rtu kindunum s\u00e9 gervi litur e\u00f0a alla vega lita\u00f0ur.

But when you shear it for the first time it looks like the belly of the sheep has silver on it. When the wool grows out again for the second year of the sheep\u2019s live, it is grey on the tog hairs. Sometimes the greyish black sheep have so much of the grey hairs in their fleeces that people even think they are grey. But the face of the sheep can tell you the truth. If the face is black, the sheep is black. It sometimes has such lovely long locks of tog, just flowing over the sheep\u2019s body curly and shiny. I find the greyish black colour often the best one to make black sock yarn, but sometimes the black wool is not as strong as some other colours. It can also test your patience when you want to spin a fine thread, just by breaking number of times before it starts to spin without problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13205\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13205\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13205 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-234x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-150x192.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-600x769.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-799x1024.jpg 799w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-768x984.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-1198x1536.jpg 1198w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Hjonaband-Hrefna.jpg 1278w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 234px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 234\/300;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13205\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Two skeins of Hrefna\u2019s \u201chj\u00f3naband\u201d <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>It is not easy to see the colour of Hrefna\u2019s yarn on the photo here to the left.
