WOOL at its finest....merino from Fleecewood Farm

WELCOME TO FLEECEWOOD FARM

MERINOS


me-ri-no-  1.  a breed of fine wooled sheep originating in Spain and
producing a heavy fleece of exceptional quality. 


On our small family farm, in Minnesota's heartland; we raise Merino sheep in nature's own luscious colors, ranging from creamy white to a deep espresso.
We strive to produce this luxurious fiber, in a manner which meets the needs of today's society for quality, color selection and product variety.

We offer fleece for the fiber enthusiast; top for the discriminating felter or handspinner; woolen yarns for those who knit or crochet; and cone yarns for the weaver or machine knitter.



As you may know, Merino wool has been treasured for centuries by both royalty and those individuals who could afford it.  It is a versatile fiber known for its' softness, fineness, durability and strength.  It is soft enough to caress a baby's skin, since it will not itch or scratch.  Yet, it is strong enough to be felted into a flexible fabric or hold a colorful  dye.
                                                    

For your pleasure, our rich, natural shades are sold as: 
fleeces, top, yarn (in skeins or cones).
