Two of the older flocks in Ontario have had a real influence on fleeces here in Ontario. The prefixes are ... Skerryvore ... and Cherrington. These flocks were run by two women who were spinners and worked hard to maintain the quality of Shetland fleeces.
I don't have a lot of pictures that I can find on my computer, but these three will show, at least, the fleece type that can be found on Cherrington and Skerrivore sheep.

Hi Bill - is that Liza or Mary in the middle picture? Sadly - I just lost Liza a few days ago - going on 15 years old.
Love those old Cherringtons and Skerryvores - lovely fleeces.
Hi Tammy,
That was Liza. She was a gentle soul.
The fleece shot is from when I leased Blizzard ... :-)
Bottom one if Plum, from Nicole, via Shawna, I think. She is going to a starter flock a km away from here ... :-)
Well - I thought it must have been either Mary or Liza - those tails!
But Oh - what fleeces!
I thought that might have been Blizzard's fleece. She's starting to go darker - but still has a lovely fleece.
Is the bottom picture of Blizzard's lamb?
