About Our Yarns:
Our Sheep are sheared in the spring. This is the time when we can enjoy the fruits of our labor ! We take great care all year to keep our fleeces as clean as possible and when the lustrous fleeces are collected we know all the time it took, was well worth the effort ! The fleeces are then skirted, and “picked” or cleaned of all remaining vegetable matter. The fleeces are then washed and blended and sent to a small owner operated mill. Because the fleeces are kept so clean, the mill does not need to use the harsh scouring agents used in large commercial operations. The mill we use takes great pride in their work as well, and produces a yarn that is as close to quality hand spun as one can get.

Weston Hill Farm Yarns are unique in that they are a blend of fleeces of our long wool sheep with an occasional addition from a local friend’s flock. All blending and dyeing are a result of Eileen’s creativity with an end result uniquely our own. We sell out quickly as our products are grown not ordered.For more about us and our Yarns :www.westonhillfarm.com
