Frannie the cat, fleeces from our sheep |
April's shearing of raw finn or shetland fleece in two colors:
I have a cream shetland and a white and black spotted Finn, both ewes' fleece. Each is about 5-6 lbs.
These fibers are well known to handspinners and felters for their soft beauty and color.
Raw fleece: Shetland $10/lb, Finn $14/lb.
Kora, piebald black and white finnsheep whole fleece for sale.-- 5-1/2 lbs @ $14/lb + shipping. |
Maple, cream color Shetland, 6 lb whole fleece @$10/lb + shipping. |
Many colors of Shetland $2/oz. -- brown, brown/black blend, cream and fawn, cream and brown.
I've just sent 36 lbs. of raw wool to Hidden Valley to be made into roving-- most blended Finn and Shetland, some pure Shetland. Lovely wool and colors!

I sent Yarrow's fleece off to get processed, then found a spinner who will spin for a portion of the yarn ... so I get "free" spinning. I'm excited - I have been weaving so much that the spinning has been dropped for a long while. This way I will get some lovely Shetland yarn to weave with and not have to take time away from weaving to get it!
Is the finnsheep fleece still available?
Carly, no, that fleece sold -- and I sold the ewe! sorry.
