Misty Meadow Icelandics

Join us on Shearing Day, October 15, 2011!

Call or email to reserve a fleece.

We sell our Misty Meadow Icelandic fiber as raw fleece, cleaned and carded clouds, roving, and specialty yarns. We work with various mills around the country to produce the high quality processed fiber and yarns that we sell. As we have limited supplies of both raw fiber and yarns, we suggest that you contact us when you see something that you like.

If we don’t have it for you right away, we can reserve a fleece for you from our next shearing.

At Misty Meadow, we schedule two shearings each year. Our spring shearing occurs in late March/early April. The wool at this time of the year is shorter and has a bit more hay and vegetation in it (due to sheep being in the barn most of the winter). Because of this, we take great care to clean it well and send it off to the mill to be made into felting batts. These batts are used throughout the year to be made into our pillows and rugs and is also sold by the  pound to feltmakers for their projects.

Raw Fleeces -- $12/pound
Our fleeces come in a variety of colors and are very clean and well-skirted. We sell all of our raw wool by the fleece. Average fleece weight is 3 – 4 pounds per fleece for a 6-month adult fleece. Lamb fleeces are approximately 2 pounds.

Reserve a Fleece
If you are interested in purchasing a fleece, we strongly encourage you to reserve your selection in advance.  We will hold the fleece for you -- you can pick up the fleece on Shearing Day or we will send it to you soon after the event. We can also recommend mills for scouring, carding, and spinning. Ask us!
