Raw Fleeces
Remember, these are sheep with character...and probably a little extra VM (vegetable matter) thrown in for good measure ;-). Our sheep are not coated and spend a huge amount of time sitting around watching Adventure Chicken tv, stuffing hay in their mouths like bonbons. While they may not win any awards for cleanliness, any remaining VM should shake out upon washing and processing and we won't sell anything we sure wouldn't want to spin ourselves.
We love knowing who we are wearing and you will, too :-). If you'd are interested in reserving a fleece, please drop me an email and let me know who you'd like to spin next.
2023 handspinning fleeces
There are still quite a few 2023 fleeces available. Without setting up a festivals this year I should have done more to market them online this summer, but I did not :-/. They are all skirted and safely protected from chickens (!) and I will get them ready to feature hopefully yet this month.
If there is someone here you are interested in, drop me and email and I'll let you know if they are still available. I am also happy to wash your fleece for you.
Don't even think about it, Pecky Becky!

Washed Fleeces
I believe this was Blossom or maybe Peabody from a couple years ago. Long gone regardless, but what a yummy pile of fleece! I'll leave this picture on here for any time you need to bury your nose in a clean fluffy fleece on a warm spring afternoon :-).

Roving
I like to have almost everything processed into ready to spin roving soon after washing. We try to keep several Jacob fleeces (medium wool, easy to spin, beautiful colors) in varying shades of white, gray and black, a few white Texel crosses (the longer end of medium, a nice crisp yarn, very easy to spin) and some Cotswold (nice luster and halo, easy to spin, dyes wonderfully) in stock.
$4 per ounce (4 oz. minimum) or $56 per pound

Quilt Batting
I do have a limited amount of Ewen McTeagle quilt batting this fall. Please email for availability. I'm keeping a good chunk to make a warm puffy comforter as I don't think there could be anything better than snuggling under one of the best sheep of all time :-).
