Fleeces
According to The Spinning Loft, “Gulf Coast fleeces are usually soft, open, low grease, wavy to crimpy and 2.5 to 4.0 inches staple length. This makes them suitable for many uses. Hand spinners say it is a delight to select fleeces for projects they have planned. It makes great fabric, blankets or knitted projects (sweaters, etc.) since it is not harsh to the skin. It also felts really well for making hats or felt pieces for sewing.” A fleece judge told me that she particularly prizes Gulf Coast for two features – it is unusually durable and springy while still being fairly soft. This makes it particularly perfect for hats, socks and gloves, which must last a long time under harsh conditions and must be able to stretch to fit but spring back to its original shape over and over. We breed for wool quality and only post high quality fleeces here. All full and partial fleeces are unwashed and lightly skirted with low to moderate VM. They are 8$ per pound (+ shipping) and generally weigh 1-4 pounds. We are also open to swaps - we send you a fleece at no cost and you send back half the fleece as hand spun yarn. Currently all pictured below are available except for Rosemary and Wylie. Email for detailed photos and additional information.
Wearable Woolies
I create these scarves and cuffs through a method called "nuno felting" using a foundation fabric of cotton or silk and then felting dyed and natural colored wools onto that fabric. The results are incredibly lightweight - like wearing a cloud - yet still enough to keep you warm. Single cuffs can be worn as bracelets while the double cuffs can be worn as bracelets or over the ends of your sleeves as a decorative detail. Shipping on wearables is $4 and not included in the price.
Dryer Balls and Ornaments
Dryer balls are an eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets, and they work even better! They are 100% wool and nothing else. All you do is leave them in your dryer. When you dry your clothes, the wool soaks up some of the moisture and then as the laundry dries, it evenly distributes the moisture into the air, helping the air stay humid longer which substantially reduces static cling and wrinkles while reducing drying time. They last 4-5 years, so think of the money you’ll save on those chemical-laden dryer sheets! And every time you use them, you can think about how your purchase helps to save an endangered breed. The dryer balls come in sets of 3, and each is about the size of a softball. A set is $12 plus 3$ shipping. Colors will vary.

How many people can say they have jewelry handmade from the wool of a critically endangered breed of sheep? These are felted beads made by a process in which the wool is washed, carded, and then turned into felt beads through hot water and a lot of rolling and compression. Click on photos to enlarge. Shipping on all jewelry is an additional $4.00.
