Fresh Fleece | |
Our sheep, Rambouillet, CVM and crosses, will be sheared the end of January 2012. We skirt our fleece thoroughly which means that we lay each fleece out and take off the parts we know a handspinner would not want to work with. Available beginning February 2012. Contact us at info@sistersheep.com if you want to inquire about availability of a particular type of fleece. | |
Wool and Mohair Roving | |
You won't believe how beautiful this roving is! It's all Colorado and it's all natural! Available on our Etsy site. It is made from our white Rambouillet and Romeldale CVM fleece blended with our white mohair and processed by Lonesome Stone Natural Fiber Mill in Granby, Colorado. The folks at Lonesome Stone scour, pick and ultimately comb this fiber which makes it SO luscious that it practically spins itself! | |
Grass Fed Lamb | A select group of our lambs are kept each year not for their fleece but for their meat. Rambouillet and Romeldale/CVM are both dual-purpose breeds. Grass fed with the hay produced right on the ranch, this lamb is premium meat that can only be found in a location such as this. Sarah and her husband raise grass fed cattle for meat production, so this is a natural extension of their ranching business. The meat is processed with care at a local custom kill facility, Double J Meat Packing. Want to know more? Contact us at info@SisterSheep.com |
Mohair Fleece | |
This kid mohair is from the first shearing of our kid, Anela, daughter of our black doe Willow and the red sire ram Etienne. Anela's fleece was red when she was born, but has lightened to a beautiful rich taupe color. This fleece is soft to the touch like her mother Willow and it has a beautiful sheen. This fleece would be beautiful blended with wool, adding strength, durability and shine to the springiness of wool. It would also be gorgeous spun on its own. This fleece and three others are available now on our Etsy site. | |
Pick of the Fleece
We have created some 4 ounce bags of raw wool fleece from two of our naturally colored wool fleece. Sadly, both Willy Taft and Gwyneth were "jacket jumpers" in that they got out of their jackets (yep, the jackets that keep their fleece clean and protected) and got DIRTY! Their fiber is so spectacular that we took the best parts of each fleece and picked it apart, pulling out the VM (vegetable matter) and creating locks that are ready for you to wash and get to spinning or blending!
Gwyneth's fleece has sold out, but the pick of Willy Taft's taupe and white fleece is available on our Etsy site.
