~ Spinning Fibers ~
Mad About Ewes is happy to offer four
(4) different spinning fibers from the farm this year, all in the form of
ready-to-spin roving. Our fleeces are processed by a local mill, washed with
a biodegradable, eco-friendly wool wash which contains no harsh scouring
agents or chemicals, and then carded into roving. All rovings are priced
at $2.50/ounce plus shipping. If you live locally, you are welcome to come
to the farm and pick out your fibers - visits are by appointment only.

"Remy" is affectionately
known as the big brown moose here on the farm - a Columbia/Rambouillet cross,
he produces a lovely deep chocolate fleece with more than adequate staple
length, which makes for a wonderful spinning experience.

"Hershey" has the distinction
of being one of the very first sheep we acquired 12 years ago. Still going
strong, this purebred Corriedale has produced quality wool year after year,
and he's done it again. Lovely and soft, Hershey's wool is suitable for any
"next to the skin" garment.

"Lucy" A medium grey Corriedale,
Lucy has once again produced a lovely soft fleece that is a pleasure to spin.
Versatile enough to be used for knitting, crocheting, or weaving, this fleece
has been one of our most popular over the years.

"Jet" A Suffolk/Corriedale/?
Cross, Jet was purchased at a local 4-H auction three years ago due to his
gorgeous black wool. Although the Suffolk in him keeps his wool a rather
short length, it is perfect for the newer spinner, as it is lovely and soft,
and easy to draft.
