Our flock was first established here in 2015. Since inheriting them with the farm in 2022, we have worked to know each individual under our care -- our "matriarchs," our breeding rams, the quality of fleece each grows and passes down through family lineage, any health related issues throughout the year, and specific weather conditions impacting the quality of pastures and our management. Each year brings different challenges, and each sheared fleece tells the story of a life lived.

While the Clun Forest breed is wonderfully consistent in fleece production -- a "down breed" producing creamy white, thick wool with a high crimp measuring anywhere from 3.5 to 5.5 inches in staple length -- some are just softer and silkier. Through careful sorting, we find the right use for each one. Below is a current list of products. We endeavor to keep the wool as close to home as possible, partnering with nearby mills for many of the end products. Free shipping on all orders!

Product Details

Our natural, un-dyed yarn is selected from the finest fleeces in our flock and offered in two weights: sport and DK. Both reflect a rustic elegance defined by the Clun's dense, uniform locks and wonderful springiness. With a lot of elasticity, the yarn is both soft and durable, making it a favorite for a variety of projects, particularly hardworking items like blankets, sweaters, hats and gloves.

1. Matthew's Flock. Matthew is our handsome wether who grows uniquely long, soft fleece. He is combined with his niece, Nutella, and twin sisters, Lilo and Ladybug, all of whom grow the same long, soft locks. This yarn has a nice staple length and was spun by Skagit Woolen Works on the mainland into a light, sport weight yarn with a lovely squishy feel.

2. Caitlin & Co. Caitlin is one of the original ewes to our flock and grows an exceptionally soft fleece passed down through her lineage. We sorted the best of her fleece along with her daughters, Leia and Junie Bee, and great grandson, Nigel. This yarn was spun by Skagit Woolen Works into springy, fat skeins and is Clun Forest wool at its finest!

All of our sheep are lovingly raised on a small family farm on Orcas Island, live on pasture year-round, are 100% grassfed, and are sheared annually in the Spring.

By purchasing this yarn, you support the preservation of an endangered heritage breed, currently designated by the Livestock Conservancy as "threatened". We participate in their "Shave 'em 2 Save 'em" program and are happy to provide a passport sticker if requested with any 4 oz purchase. Thank you for your interest!
