yarn + roving

Every Fall our neighbor (and local 4-H dad!) comes to the farm to shear our flock of Icelandic Sheep. When the day is done, the girls and I carefully gather and separate all of the fleeces and then spend the next few weeks painstakingly skirting each one, hand picking out every bit of evidence from the sheeps’ summer forays into the woods. Once the hard work is done, we get to be creative - combining and blending our favorite fleeces and colors to produce that years’ yarn collection. Then off they go to a small fiber mill in Maine specialized in working with the unique qualities of Icelandic fleeces. It’s there that the magic happens - spinning each combination we dreamed up in the Fall into beautiful skeins of naturally colored yarn and roving that will eventually end up on your knitting (or crochet!) needles. Every skein of yarn you purchase from us has been lovingly crafted and touched by so many small farms and fiber artists. We hope you love it as much as we do and can’t wait to see what you create!
