This is a year long exploration of breed specific fibre that is grown in small flocks in Canada.

Each month you will receive 4oz of fibre in roving from a specific breed of sheep.  In it’s natural shade.

You will also receive a small card with information about that sheep breed and some suggestions for the best use of that fibre based on the characteristics of the wool.

All the wool comes from small flocks/farms across Canada, grown by shepherds who take great care in producing healthy, happy animals and excellent wool.

Examples of some of the breeds:

BFL

Rambouillet

Icelandic

Shetland

Targhee

Cotswold

Wenslydale

Romney

Polypay

Shropshire

For those in Winnipeg we can arrange a once a month pick up location.
