Icelandic Wool Fleeces

We have just finished our fall shearing.  As usual, the fleeces are gorgeous, long and with beautiful lustre.  We managed to get some skirted to enter at The Vermont Sheep and Wool festival.  Kind Horn Farm came away with the BLUE RIBBON for Natural Color- Longwool category!   I will be adding these fleeces to the website as I get them skirted.  Please do email or call if you are looking for a special fleece.   I always have lots of gorgeous fleeces, lamb and adult, on hand.

Read this testimonial I received recently from a very happy raw fleece customer:

"I received the fleeces yesterday, and I skipped out of the post office with them.  I am just over the moon! they are the prettiest things that I have ever seen!
Right away, I took samples out of each bag, and washed them. They are so clean, and with not much lanolin, so one soak was enough. I then prepared them and spun them up in different ways.  I am in love!  I hope that I can do these beauties justice.....
And, oh!  I HAVE to have that dark/brown black fleece that you sent me a sample of.  Is it available still? Iif so, I would love to purchase it.  It is incredibly beautiful!
The colors of all of these samples are just so exquisite to look at.  Thank you for raising such beautiful animals with lustrous fleeces.
I am so very happy that I found Kind Horn Farm......"

ALL OF OUR LAMB FLEECES THIS YEAR ARE CERTIFIED ORGANIC!!!!!

The Icelandic sheep produces a premium fleece. The fleece is dual coated, with a fine, soft undercoat called thel and a longer, coarser outer coat called tog. Icelandic fleeces are open and low in lanolin. The weight loss when washed is significantly less than many other breeds. To read more about their fiber, click here.
