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!
|
|
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.
