2003 Fiber Sales List
We are experienced,
small scale producers of Romney and crossbred sheep, bred for quality handspinning
fleece. Living in the Heartland of America gives us the climate, soil and
abundance of food that contributes to the unique qualities of our wool.
Our wool is wonderfully suited for sock and sweater knitting, and long-lasting
and comfortable woven garments. Hoggett and lamb fleeces are often fine
enough for next-to-the-skin garments. Ram fleeces have no objectionable odor
and are superb when used for outerwear, boot or clog socks and accessories.
Both the white and colored fleeces are wonderful for dyeing. Because
it's not as fine and greasy as some sheep, the fleeces are easier to clean
and prepare for spinning, yet still suited for felting projects. (Certain
sheep have fleece with lower felting capacity. If you have wet felting in
mind--email for details) We don't use coats on our sheep because it's dangerous
for the sheep and better for the fiber quality. We don't have excessive trash
in our fleece and not using coats helps keep the cost reasonable for the
budget-conscious spinner. Our fibers are guaranteed. (see below)
Thank you for your interest. ~~Mark

Satisfaction guaranteed, purchase price refunded (not including shipping)

your purchase, but I can not support those who simply change their minds several
weeks or months later. Of course fiber must be returned in the same

dyeing, felting, etc.).
