We had everyone sheared professionally in March 2008. Fleeces are being skirted and evaluated for showing. If you have a request, please let me know. The few remaining 2007 fleeces were sent out for processing. We have some lovely light grey Shetland roving from Electra and some 75:25 Shetland:Alpaca roving in white. More natural colored Shetland:Alpaca blend rovings are coming. We have 7 colors already in stock. This roving makes stunning natural Fair Isle patterns. A few fall-shorn, 2007 Gotland/Finn lamb fleeces are available. I have lovely sport weight yarn in light brown-grey from Hortense (BFLxBL). Hortense's fleece is one of our most requested fleeces. Strong, lustrous, heathery grey. It is great for weaving, knitting and felting. A selection of roving from my personal stash is listed at the end of the fleeces. | |
