Quality Handspinning Fleece and Washed Wool

Our fleeces are carefully skirted and are free of burrs, chaff, or other vegetable matter.  They have been selected from our flock for good handspinning quality.  Although these fleeces were NOT coated, the quality rivals many of the finest fleeces around. At the 2008 Shepherd's Harvest, Primrose's fleece won 1st place in the Colored Long Wool Division!

We offer quality fleece at reasonable prices.

All of our 2009 fleeces and washed wool have been sold. Thank you to our customers! We appreciate your business and hope you will enjoy working with our wool.

The next shearing will be in late February or early March of 2010. Please check back to see the fleeces we will have to offer for sale.

We realize that buying fleece over the Internet does not provide you the opportunity to experience the feel and quality of the fleece.  Even photos do not provide the chance to handle the fleece and judge its merits.  We encourage you to request a sample of any fleece you would be interested in so you can truely see whether the fleece will fill the needs for your next project.  If you would like a sample of any of our fleeces, send a business-size SASE and we will be happy to send you a sample for your evaluation.
