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 blended with just a touch of Teesewater from another local farm. The long locks of the Teesewater blend nicely with the shorter, springy Clun locks, providing a smooth, durable yarn suitable for many projects.

By purchasing this yarn, you are supporting the preservation of two endangered heritage breeds, as designated by the Livestock Conservancy -- Clun Forest as "Threatened" and Teesewater as "Critical."

This limited edition yarn was spun a bit heavier than the 100% Clun and would be ideal for rustic mitts or socks, or any hardworking project.
