FIBER WITH A PURPOSE

The Clun Forest are a "down breed," producing thick, fine wool with a high crimp that is ideal for spinning and knitting into soft, elastic yarn. Each sheep on our farm grows about 6-8 pounds of fleece per year, measuring anywhere from 3.5 to 5.5 inches in length, depending on the individual. With a natural creamy, white color and a consistent staple length that resists felting, this fleece is ideal for many projects, from squishy, soft sweaters and mittens, to thick blankets and rugs.

Below are just a few of the offerings we have been working on, from raw wool to blended roving and yarns. More to come soon!

Product Details

This natural, un-dyed yarn is from our own Clun Forest flock and was milled locally. It has a rustic elegance defined by the Clun's dense, uniform locks and wonderful springiness. With a lot of elasticity, the yarn is both soft and durable, making it a favorite for a variety of projects, particularly hardworking items like sweaters, hats, and gloves.

By purchasing this yarn, you are supporting the preservation of an endangered heritage breed, currently designated by the Livestock Conservancy as "Threatened".

This small batch was spun light to preserve its loftiness. It is a natural creamy white and takes up dye very well.
