FLEECE
The sheep were sheared on 4/1/25. The fleeces have been washed here at Birchfield farm. The Finn fleece, roving and yarn is from our own sheep. The Gotland fleece is from a friend's flock of sheep
REAL SHEEP ROVING
I have Romney Roving, Finn Roving, and Gotland white roving, and Gotland pale grey roving. All from Real Sheep that I have laid my eyes on. You can tell when you find tiny flecks of hay in the roving, but it is very clean and makes beautiful yarn. The roving was done at Catawampus mill. The roving is packaged in 4 ounce bags, $15 per bag.
Also selling handspun yarn. The handspun yarn is single ply, bulky yarn. It is priced at $15 per 4 ounce skein as priced on Etsy.

About me
I started spinning about 2 years ago, and realized there is room for venues to learn spinning. I moved here 9 years ago from Massachusetts with horses. I can help you to get started with spinning, and I have friends who will come and also help with your spinning skills. If you are an experienced spinner, I would encourage you to join me for a fiber day with other fiber people.
