Fibres

Shearing occurs every April. We have a few fleeces available each year for those people who like the process of preparing their wool for spinning. When the time approaches, a detailed list of available fleeces will be posted. If you wish to purchase a fleece, you must send me an email by the first of May in order to reserve the fleece of your choice. Fleeces will be sold on a first come first serve basis and all those remaining will be sent for processing.
