This year we will again be offering raw fleeces for sale. These fleeces will be heavily skirted, with
as much VM (vegetative matter) removed as possible. All suitable fleeces will be posted on the web
until we send them off to The Mill. This year we are offering machined rovings and a small
selection of Handspun bulky yarn*. We also have some Handspun tog yarn for crafters.
Raw lamb fleeces, which are generally softer than adult fleeces, are $25.00/lb.
Raw adult fleeces, which can either be spun with tog and thel together for a Lopi-style yarn, or can
be separated into thel for cashmere-type garments and tog for weaving, basketry, and art yarns
are $20.00/lb.
All weights are approximate - you will receive more fleece than you pay for
