Icelandic Fall Fleeces for Sale

Our flock of Icelandic Sheep has been shorn, and we’ve got fleeces for sale.

They produce both excellent quality meat and wool. As a primitive breed, they are hardy, staying outside all year round.

Our sheep are raised on pasture, where they eat mixed grasses, clover and wildflowers. Our pastures are never treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers.

Fleeces

Icelandic fleeces are quite unique: the layer of wool closest to their skin is warm and downy, while the outer strands are coarser and waterproof. When spun together, they produce a warm, waterproof yarn. Their fleeces come in a variety of colors, ranging from creamy white, to deep brown, warm grey, and inky black.

Our sheep are shorn twice a year. The fall shearing is sold as whole fleeces to home spinners, who produce yarn or felt them into rugs. Wool from our spring shearing is often quite messy, as the animals have been outside all winter. We sell this wool as bird nesting material, or use it as a mulch around our vegetable garden.
