Wild Rose Farm is home to a flock of Rambouillet and Dorset sheep that follow a managed intensive grazing program & lamb in the spring on pasture. We show our fleeces at the local fairs and also attend several shows each year where we sell our wool products and yarn.
We sell freezer lambs and breeding ewe lambs, as well as spinning fleeces, washable sheepskins, washed wool locks for Santa beards & crafting, soft Rambouillet combed top, and naturally processed hand dyed yarn.
Our fine wool yarn is hand dyed with beautiful all natural dyes. Our pure fine wool Rambuillet yarn is available in 2-ply skeins of a "worsted weight" in 4 oz. skeins of 125 yards and a "sport weight" in 3 oz. skeins of 120 yards. We also have 2-ply 2 oz. skeins that are "Greenspun" with vegetable soaps & oils in 135 yard skeins blended from 30%Kid Mohair & 70%Rambouillet wool. All of our yarns are "next to the skin" soft.
Wild Rose Farm offers 100% fine wool Rambouillet combed top. This gorgeous, soft combed top can be purchased by the ounce and is a treat to handle. It can be used for handspinning, fine feltmaking, and crafting. We also added Dorset wool roving and quilting batts this summer. In 2008 we added Dorset wool roving and also Doeset wool quilting batts. Call or email for prices.
