Swaledale is a breed of domestic sheep named after the Yorkshire valley of Swaledale in England. They are found throughout the more mountainous areas of Great Britain, but particularly in the Yorkshire Dales, County Durham, and around the pennine fells of Cumbria. The breed is noted for it’s off-white, naturally long wool, curled horns and white around their nose and eyes. These sheep are renowned for their wool, which is used to make high-quality tweed. Considered a light grey, the fleece is more of an off-white to me.
