So what does one of these fluffy, wooly sheep look like when all the shearing is done? Well ... why don't you just shear one yourself? Roll your mouse over the picture to see the before and after effects! Note --- if you have your computer set up to block active content, you will have to disable or turn that off in order to shear Lilja.
SALE! Remaining 2007 fleeces are priced to go, so grab a bargain or reserve a fleece from your favorite sheep for 2008 fall shearing in mid-September.
We give our sheep a haircut twice a year, once in the early spring prior to lambing, and again in the fall following the festivals and fairs. The lamb fleeces are naturally the softest and most coveted of our fleeces, and are priced accordingly at $20/pound. Ewe fleeces are $18/pound, others vary according to texture. The fall fleeces are well skirted and contain very minimal vegetation as our sheep are maintained on lush green pastures from early spring until mid-winter.
Our lamb meat and pelts are available in limited quantity in late fall. Please call in spring or summer to reserve a half or whole lamb for your freezer. As for the wool, you will find a listing of our most popular fleeces, roving and handspun yarns below. Pictures and prices are included. Amanda hand spins yarns in a worsted weight, suitable for socks and lightweight sweaters containing both tog and thel. It is spun with a light twist into a very soft, balanced yarn. Yarns are avavilable in natural colors (for example black, grey, brown, taupe, cream...) and hand dyed. Our wool has no chemicals applied before shearing, and only mild detergents are used for washing. The end product is soft to the touch and not dry. If you would like to ask us questions about our products, please feel free to email or call us. We have commercially spun lopi in varigated colors. Frequently, we will have additional items that are not listed here, or we can provide a custom solution for your fiber needs. Supplies are limited.
