Yarn: See Breeding Mission section to read about our prize winning Fleeces. In order to keep chaff out of our fleeces our flock is coated from September until shearing in March or April. Unskirted fleeces are routinely a minimum of 12 pounds for a hogget and frequently range up to 17 pounds. After skirting the fleeces and trimming down to 6" in staple length they are sent one by one to Starcroft Fiber Mill in Monroe, Maine. Jani Estell and her helpers carefully wash each fleece in Eco Scour - a very gentle cleanser. Each fleece is individually custom spun. This enables us to offer several different natural shades of colored yarn ranging from white to silver to gray to jet black and an occasional moorit (tan). The custom spinning also means we know the sheep the yarn came from. There is an added pleasure to knowing that the garment is from Dakota (the farm mascot), Zorro (THE ram), Daphne (the back rub queen) etc. The soft hand of this custom spun prize winning fleece is exceptional. Yarns vary from medium worstered to bulk weights.

Sheep Skins: We do offer a limited number of white and occasionally black sheep skins. These are custom tanned by Bucks County Fur in Pennsylvania. They are washable. They come from 6 month old lambs so the fleece is absolutely superb. The fleece length is generally around 4". The size of the pelts is at least 30" X 40". Price: $150 plus S&H.



Fleece: Fleeces are coated from Sept. - March. There is minimal chaff so you have more time for spinning! Our herd sires are renowned for their fleece. Zorro's sire's fleece out of Pulpit Rock Romneys was Supreme Champion at the Big E in 2000 and Supreme Champion at Maryland in 2001. And Blake's farm Silver Creek Lambscapes has an exceptional fleece reputation.
