Last Months Comment: Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying spinning the fiber you sent — I love LOVE the texture, and am really looking forward to an education on the textures of wool from different breeds. There’s a truckload I don’t know about how to do all this, but I am really having fun and hope that I’m actually acquiring new skills, rather than a bunch of bad habits. Don’t know how much of the yarn I am making will be usable, but I believe some will, and it will be fun to figure out that part of things when the day comes. Thanks for this experience! – Katherine –
Every other month you’ll get a 4-8 ounce breed-specific wool batt from a Vermont farm, randomly hand dyed by Shepherd Katie of Cloverworks Farm.
Each batt will come with information about the sheep, farm, and fiber prep as well as tips for spinning this type of wool. The batt is scoured, carted, and hand dyed. 100% Wool from local Vermont farms. Ready to spin into wonderful knitting/crochet projects.
A pamphlet will be included with a very simple pattern and ideas what to do with your finished product.
If you are a seasoned fiber spinner and want to try out different breeds of sheep from Vermont. Are you a beginner spinner or just learning? This subscription club is just for you. You can practice with different sheep breeds.
We are working with local shepherds to move some of their stored up raw wool to market. Many shepherds in Vermont have local wool’s and have no place to sell them. We are working with local mills in New England to bring these local fibers to you the consumer. Farmers have not been able to bring their products to farmers markets or fiber shows due to covid-19 virus.
