New fleeces coming this fall.  Fresh roving will be arriving from the mill in December -

Colourful Roving and Handspun Yarn from our Beautiful Icelandic Fleeces!

wool/woolaug07046.jpg


We shear our Icelandic sheep twice a year, in the fall and again in the spring before lambing.    In October, our fleeces are their most luxuriant, these are our premier fleeces and are usually sold as roving or handspun into our lovely lopi style yarn.  We shear  again in March before the natural wool break occurs and before lambing, these fleeces typically have a shorter staple and are used for felting, they are sold as raw, roving or wool batts. All Icelandic fleeces are skirted by a spinner, for spinners and other wool artisans and are very clean.


Prices are the same per pound regardless of colour as all of our fleeces are sought after by spinners and wool artisans for their superior quality.  Please make your requests early as fleeces sell quickly and not all forms (raw fleeces, batts, roving, handspun yarn) are available.  Email davidwgrote@cheqnet.net for availability and to reserve your fleece. 

Thank you for your interest in Whippoorwill Farm Icelandic wool products.


 

We're pleased to offer these beautiful fleeces for your creative endeavors.  Our Handspun Lopi Style Yarn is Available at the farm or through Needlework Unlimited . To purchase these one of a kind, amazing, natural coloured, handspun yarns, contact me at davidwgrote@cheqnet.net , or if your in the Twin Cities area, Needlework Unlimited in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
