Each variation of where the black (or brown) spot is on the sheep indicates the name of the colour. We might much rather call them patterns. Because most of them are similarly spread out or shown on the sheep\u2019s body. And of course in Icelandic each and every one of them has a different name. I don\u2019t have the word in English, but we call them; flekk\u00f3tt, h\u00f6ls\u00f3tt, k\u00e1p\u00f3tt, sokk\u00f3tt, arnh\u00f6f\u00f0\u00f3tt, b\u00edld\u00f3tt, baug\u00f3tt, kr\u00fan\u00f3tt, botn\u00f3tt, h\u00e1ls\u00f3tt, h\u00f6tt\u00f3tt, leggj\u00f3tt and those are only the first ones that come to mind. To make things even more fun, some of the colours are called differently between areas in the country. So the colour badgerface is commonly known as gols\u00f3tt, but in the West they call it golt\u00f3tt and in the South East they call it m\u00f6g\u00f3tt.

Not always but so more often, that we can say it is usually softer. When a sheep with two colours also has a \u201cclean\u201d white colour, (no spots in it) the white part is very white, and very soft, and the black part is also very black and very soft. This I find very interesting, because for many years now, farmers in Iceland have not gotten a good price for double coloured wool, some years even nothing at all. It is so low priced that some farmers don\u2019t see the point in having these sheep in their flock and few of them don\u2019t shear them until in the spring shearing, that way cutting down the cost in shearing by one. Usually the sheep are shorn in the fall to get the best wool to process and then again in spring to make them feel better over the summer and also to guarantee a good quality wool the following autumn. But with the flecked sheep it sometimes is different. It has been graded as third class wool and a lot of it has been used for carpet making.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13265\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13265 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n-150x147.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n-600x588.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n-1024x1004.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n-768x753.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.uppspuni.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/334256442_948865996550377_5418739214614384776_n.jpg 1237w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/294;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Gols\u00f3tt, botn\u00f3tt og flekk\u00f3tt l\u00f6mb.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>But the double coloured wool is so soft, and it can give variations in colour you can only dream of otherwise.

Not at all looking like the ram that had been in the flock.
