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 un-dyed Clun Forest lambswool roving averages 4" in staple length and comes from our own flock of lambs born last year. It has been processed by Skagit Woolen Works on the mainland into thick, creamy roving. It drafts well and is lovely in the hand.

Clun Forest wool is distinctly springy and elastic and is beloved by hand spinners for yarn; it's also great for a variety of felting and weaving projects. Clun Forest is a natural, creamy white, and takes up dye beautifully in the dye pot.

By purchasing this wool, you are supporting the preservation of an endangered heritage breed, currently designated as "threatened" by the Livestock Conservancy. We participate in their "Shave 'em 2 Save 'em" program and can include a sticker for your passport upon request. Thank you for your interest!
