Shetland Sheep
Fine Fleece - Natural Colors
We raise healthy and happy Shetlands who enjoy ear rubs and grow soft fleeces in a variety of colors: browns, tans, grays, black and white. My favorite farm "chore" is to pet and admire their fleeces!
Learn more about this heritage breed and wool at the
Fine Fleece Shetland Sheep Assoion.​​​
​
We are a steward of the Three Rivers Fibershed, offering a source for locally grown wool while helping protect the biosphere.​
Yarn and Fiber
The Shop has an everchanging inventory of Fingering, Sport, DK, and Worsted weight yarns. Makers will love the next-to-skin softness when creating, as well as wearing.
The fleece parts that don't make the grade for yarn are used for cozy rugs and felted items. Rug yarn and a variety of woolen goods are for sale at fiber events.
The wool is processed by family-owned mills in WI, MN, and the Dakotas.
Patterns and Kits
The natural colors blend and contrast beautifully for Fair Isle and other colorwork patterns. The yarn has a soft structure and subtly shows off lace, cables and stitch work.
​
Kits and quick patterns are a fun way to sample the yarn. Kits are for sale at fiber events.
​
Free yarn samples are offered so the color and texture can be experienced first hand. Contact us for a free sample.
