Fiber for sale |
|
|
|
This page shows the fiber we have for sale. We raise mostly Shetland sheep but also have one CVM and one California Red sheep. We also have some fiber goats- a Cashmere, an Angora, a Pygora and a Nigora. Finally we have Satin Angora rabbits as well as a Jersey Wooly. All of these fibers are from our own animals that are carefully raised to produce the best fleece and then hand shorn and skirted.
We will have light grey Shetland roving for sale soon.

We are located in Skagit county, Washington State. We can be reached at donnawh@earthlink.net |

This is the roving from our musket and moorit Shetland sheep- Daphnie, Lou, Hansel and Lily. I carefully sheared the wool from the sheep, then dried and skirted them. I sent them to Z-wool in Michigan for processing. They do an excellent job and this light brown roving is very high quality. It's available for sale for $20 per pound- there's 5# total. |

This is the light grey fleece off of our ram lamb Comet. He has faded spots so his fleece has some color variation. As it is a lamb fleece is is quite soft and fine but it is double-coated and somewhat long too. After drying, skirting and weighing it is available for $8 as it weighs only 12 ounces. |

This is the fleece that I sheared off of our black and white flecket (spotted) Shetland ram Lewis. It is quite unique with striking color variation and it's single coated, soft with some crimping. If not completely blended with processing it makes a gorgeous variegated yarn. A previous fleece I did this and made a lace weight yarn that I then made a Shetland lace scarf with and the color variation in this scarf was just gorgeous. After drying, skirting and weighing this fleece is now available for $11 for 1# 2 ounces of wool. |

This is the fleece sheared off of our wether Spike. It's emsket (dark grey) in color and just gorgeous. Spike is a special sheep to us (see his amazing story at http://www.schoonoverfarm.com/SpikesStory) so I considered keeping his fleece this year, but I have roving left from last year's fleece so will offer this gorgeous wool for sale for $12/pound. It weighs 1# 14 ounces after careful skirting. SOLD to Gina! |
