Raw Fleeces for Sale  


Although we are not "certified organic" our sheep have been raised on land and hay which has not been exposed to pesticides for the past 7 years.
We sheared February 4, 2006 with a wonderfully gentle shearer, Lisa Truman, who specializes in Shetland sheep and handspinner fleeces (she's a handspinner too!). Our clean, 100% Shetland fleeces are lightly skirted and neatly rolled as they come off the sheep at shearing. We weigh and price fleeces with light skirting. If you are interested in a particular fleece, but prefer heavy skirting, please email with instructions and we will send you a quote based on your specific requirements.
The comments in quotes are Lisa's comments as she shears each sheep. Priority mail shipping will be added to each price; email for a quote to your region.

UPDATE 4/9/2006
While sorting fleeces for delivery to the Greencastle Fleece Fair, I came upon a wardrobe I had forgotten about. I opened the doors, and out tumbled some prime 2005 fleeces that I had been hiding from my husband. Given the size of my stash of 2006 fleeces, the formerly hidden 2005 stash will have to go. I will be listing these soon.
