SHEEP ARE SHORN--FIBER ALERT

Our flock has been shorn and I have already skirted and shipped out a number of boxes of lovely fiber for processing at my favorite mills.

By August I will have Cormo X top available. This is being produced from the neck wool from our Cormo X and Cormo flock(all of which microned in the 20 or under range at mid-side). The mill's comment was: "This will be fabulous.".

I will also have pin-drafted white Cormo and dark grey Cormo X roving shortly along with a number of Shetland rovings--some blended with local llama(from a prize winning herd)and local angora.

For those of you who like to process your own...I have two Cormo X fleeces I will be showing at Michigan Fiber Fest. They will be for sale(and I can split them if you like)for $25 per pound. One is from Gryffindor(6" staple luscious rose-grey 19 microns with some variation through the fleece in shadings)and the other is Raggedy Ann(4-3/4" taupe with crisp crimp and lock structure--19 microns). I have 4# of Gryffindor and 5# of Raggedy heavily skirted.

And a few Shetland fleeces are available as well from some of our more exciting ewes. Samples can be sent for anyone interested with more information.
