Fresh Wool is here
From Wool to Roving and beyond
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to keep a secret?

Our sheep have been shorn! It’s officially Spring now :)
We will have fleece available until we start processing them. If you want a fresh pelt, contact us ASAP!
Our wool starts as a pelt, is hand combed or carded, then potentially spun into yarn as the finished product. Often we pause after carding and work with the roving instead of spinning it down into yarn.
Here’s a fun video on how to make your own carding board.
