Shetland Fleeces Available
At Windswept Farms, we shear our sheep in late February, usually three to four weeks before the ewes lamb. Fleeces are carefully identified and stored until after lambing season, when we begin skirting them and pricing them for handspinners. We do have some spinners who choose their fleece "on the hoof" and these fleeces are skirted and shipped immediately after shearing.
At this time, we have approximately 40 Shetland fleeces for sale. We have fleeces of all colors available: Black, Dark Brown, Moorit, Fawn, Mioget, Musket, and Gray (from Light Gray to Dark Gray), Emsket, and Shaela. Please call or e-mail us to confirm availability, obtain fleece samples, and make arrangements for shipping.
Fleeces are now organized and represented by color on the website- click on the color thumbnail below or the on the list to the left to see individual fleeces.
Please note that fleeces are basically skirted to remove all urine and fecal material, and as much vegetable matter as possible prior to processing.
We also now accept Paypal!
