Usually the brown sheep are dark brown closest to the belly (the thel), but have a gorgeous golden shine on the outside, (the tog). But they can also be greyish brown and there we can have endless many shades of different grey and brown. All the way from being light grey on the inside and dark brown on the outside to being darker on the inside and very light on the outside \u2013 even almost white. And everything there in between. The greymoorit (see the photo to the right) is considered to be a horrid colour by some people, while others just love it. (I belong to the latter group).\u00a0 The fleece is almost grey when it has been processed into yarn, but the animal itself is very pretty. I have one that is almost purple when she has been shorn. I don\u2019t have a photo of her yet, but I might take one soon. Her name is Grafa, (Digger) which has nothing to do with her colour, she is just in the family of sheep that have name related to bulldozers. \ud83d\ude00 \u2026 Grafa\u2019s face is very dark brown \u2013 and her belly is greyish brown with the fleece on, but turns to like a purple grey shining ornament when she has been shorn.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13136\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13136\" style=\"width: 331px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13136 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-300x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"331\" height=\"276\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-150x125.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-600x499.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-1024x852.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-768x639.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-1536x1278.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243-14x12.jpg 14w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gramor-scaled-e1671472299243.jpg 1792w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 331px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 331\/276;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Greymoorit lamb 2022.
