Wool from the flock.

Fiber from the sheep on this farm. Ask what's on offer this season.

Bags of natural-color wool roving in black, brown, tan, and gray

From fleece to roving.

Flint Hill keeps a small flock of sheep, and the wool they grow becomes roving and yarn, processed right here on the farm. Fiber offerings vary by season: classes, raw materials, and finished goods.

Call or write to find out what's available at the moment.

FLEECE TO FINISHED

The whole chain, on one farm.

Most wool changes hands four or five times between the sheep and the shop. Here it doesn't leave the property. The same flock is shorn, washed, carded, spun and made up within sight of the barn it grew in.
