Fibers
Ellen offers roving for spinning and batting for felting and other fiber arts, all sourced from the farm’s own flock of sheep. Primarily Romney, but also Border Leicester, Wensleydale, Corriedale, and Gotland breeds contribute to these rich fibers, each known for its unique texture and quality. The wool is carefully processed on-site, preserving the natural integrity of each fiber for artists who value authenticity and sustainability in their work.

Yarn
After being cleaned and carded on site, the fleece is sent to a local mill for spinning before returning to the farm for a final touch of artistry. Ellen hand-dyes each batch using natural ingredients like onion skins, madder, indigo, and goldenrod, creating yarns that reflect the beauty of the farm’s surroundings. Each batch of yarn is a unique blend, ready to become a part of your next project.
