Fleeces & Wool

Fleeces

All premium fleeces are now on sale for 25% off, to make room for our upcoming October shearing.

New fleeces from the October 2008 shearing will be posted in November, as soon as I can weigh, photograph, and list them all.

I will also have a new batch of Bargain (craft-quality) fleeces to list at that time.

What you need to know before you buy

1. These are natural, raw (unwashed, uncarded) fleeces, which means you get the wool in its purest state, preserving the natural lock formations, and enabling you complete creative control on how you spin each one.

2. It also means that there may still be a small amount of vegetable matter (VM) mixed into the wool from the sheep’s pasture and/or hay. This should not be difficult to remove as you card or spin. All tail and belly wool has already been skirted off.

3. Our flock has grown to the point where we no longer shear our own sheep. This fall will be the first time we have professionally sheared fleeces available for sale. That means fewer aching backs for us and a more skilled shearing job (fewer second cuts) for you.

4. In general, the fall crop produces the prime spinning fleeces. The spring shearing is excellent for felting or quilting batts.

Payment methods: I take checks, money orders, and PayPal. Actual shipping costs are added to the price of all fleeces.
