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

Welcome to Fleecewood Farm!  
         

             MERINO WOOL


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 to meet 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.



Merino wool,  treasured for centuries by both royalty and those individuals rich enough to afford it,  is a versatile fiber known for its softness, fine texture, durability and strength.  Soft enough to caress a baby without irritating the skin, yet strong enough to be felted into a flexible fabric or hold a colorful  dye, this fine wool suits a multitude of needs.
                                                    

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