Join our flock for a year-long adventure in yarn farming.

Sheep Shares is our farm’s yarn and fiber CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). We grow wool for knitters and spinners who care deeply about the source of their fibers and about sustaining small-scale farming.

Twice a year Sheep Shares sends farm-fresh skeins and fiber from my flock to your door.
Precious and limited, our yearly wool clip reflects a year's work in meticulously caring for our animals and tending the fleeces- our principal farm product. Each season brings a new yarn or new roving blend.

Joining Sheep Shares ensures your share of my flock's yarns and fibers. Sheep Shares members will also be entitled to special contests and promotions and color selections (see full member benefits below).

Color Choices for Sheep Shares 2013

My yarn color palette is inspired by the colors I see everyday on my beautiful farm. When you purchase my hand-dyed skeins, I share these colors with you.

This year Farm Yarn Share members who have enrolled for hand dyed skeins may choose from one of this year’s color themes:

Country Garden

Woodlands

Fields & Meadows

Northern Skies

You may select a different theme for each season (for example: Country Garden for spring, and Northern Skies for fall). Please note your color choice when your enroll in the comment box. Or you can tell me via email.

The colors you receive this year will be more of a surprise – and not all members will receive the same colors – even if you have chosen the same theme!

Because I dye yarn in small batches, it is very important to let me know in advance if you wish to purchase additional skeins for either season. That way, all skeins will be from the same dye lot.

Each season, there will be a thread in our Ravelry forum so you can share the colors you have received.

I truly look forward to dyeing yarn by theme just for you!
