Support Small Farms:
The Shetland sheep at Blackberry Heritage Fibers are raised sustainably and with love, purely for fiber on our family farm in the Cascades of Washington.
I shear them myself before sending the picked fleeces to a small family mill for spinning. This 2-ply yarn is soft, warm, with the artisanal character of a true “sheep to yarn” and labelled with the names of each sheep that grew it for you. We are proud members of The Livestock Conservancy, supporting “at risk” livestock breeds. Passport stickers are available, please message us with your order.
