Sheep Street Fibers carries a variety of fibers suitable for
spinning. They
are
from
our flock, from other local sources, and from out-of-state
sources.
Fleeces
| We
shear our flock each Spring. Most of them are
Shetland sheep but we also have a few Merinos and a few Lincolns. |
|
A number
of fleeces left over from the 2011 clip are at a mill being
processed into roving, but images of eight of last
year's clip
are shown below, along with a lock from
each. Fleeces from the
2012 clip (except for those purchased by spinners who came
to the shearing days) are available.

| Shetland Roving |
At present we have a supply of cream colored (with
some dark threads) Shetland
Roving which was made from our fleeces. In
addition, we have gray, dark gray, brown,
and dark brown (nearly black) roving, again from our
flock. The colors are all natural.
