Our Products

We have just finished shearing and are pleased to have a lovely selection of fall fleeces ideal for hand spinning. Our pastures held up so well this fall, the sheep were not on hay prior to shearing. The weather cooperated also which allowed the sheep to be brought directly off the pastures for shearing. This means exceptionally clean fleeces because the sheep didn't have to be penned in the barn for several days prior to shearing.

We are in the process of skirting fleeces now and will list them as they are skirted. We skirt the fleeces as we would if we were using them ourselves, first removing the back and britch wool, then removing any tags, second cuts and vegetative matter. Even so, you can expect to find a small amount of vegetative matter in the fleeces that can easily be removed while carding or spinning.

We do not offer any fleeces for sale that we would not use ourselves! These fleeces have nice staple lengths for spinning or for use in various other craft projects such as felting and may be used for doll hair. Please view our ewe and lamb pages where we have photos of our sheep sporting their lovely fleeces.

We are confident that our fleeces are of excellent quality. The following is an excerpt about our wool:

"I have really been enjoying spinning your wonderful wool. The colors are beautiful, the fiber a joy to spin."

"...beautifully long 6-8" fiber . Great for lopi yarn , worsted, easily spun fine for shawls"

We are always striving for the finest quality products and welcome your feedback.

The fleeces offered on the list below are raw fleeces, meaning that they are unwashed allowing you to spin in the grease if you wish. Fleeces are not difficult to wash, but it does take a bit of extra time. If you would like your fleece washed, we would be happy to wash it for you for an additional fee of $7.00 per fleece. You can expect the washed wool to weigh less than the listed raw wool (called shrinkage) as the lanolin adds weight to the raw fleeces.

The prices listed do not include shipping. If you need your fleece shipped, we will be happy to provide a shipping quote. We ship fleeces in plastic bags by parcel post through the USPS unless you request otherwise. We accept cash, checks, money orders or PayPal. If interested in a particular fleece, please contact us. We will mark the fleece as reserved for seven business days or until we receive your payment, whichever comes first. Upon receiving your payment, your fleece will promptly be shipped to you. If we are washing your fleece for you, please allow for a few extra drying days prior to shipment.

Pelts: Icelandic pelts are simply luxurious. We offer both full wool and shearling pelts. The pelts can be used for throws and rugs, adding a warm touch to any room. Stitched together, they make lovely bed spreads. They also are excellent for use in wheel chairs or bassinettes (pelts will need to be thoroughly aired out after processing for this use). You can also use them as seat covers for your car or truck in the winter months. Hobbyists and sports enthusiasts use pelts for making slippers, doll hair, vests, purses and fishing flies. Pelts are easily maintained, simply shaking them out will remove any dust. Some pelts are dry clean only. Others are machine washable, we will specify this in the pelt description as well as including washing instructions with your shipment, although we have never had to wash our pelts. We ship our pelts USPS priority. Call us for a shipping quote.

Here at last! Lamb pelts!!! They are absolutely fantastic! Several of the pelts have small holes from the skinning/scraping process on the leather side. The holes do not interfere with the integrity of the pelt or the appearance of the wool.

Additional items available include a deck chair, shearing stand, fence stretcher, hand shears, electric shears and hoof trimmers.

Please contact us if there is a product made from Icelandic sheep that you may be looking for that we may be able to provide.
