Yarn and Wool Products
Hickory Hills Farm yarn is made from the finest wool of our 100 Rambouillet/Merino Cross Bred ewes and processed at local woolen mills (Ewetopia & Rach-Al-Paca) naturally without the use of harsh chemicals. Because the Merino and Rambouillet fleeces are so fine with a lot of crimp in them, they make very soft yet strong yarn.
The sheep are shorn every spring before lambing begins, usually in mid April. Local schools have been bringing students to Hickory Hills each year during shearing since 1984, allowing them to have hands-on learning experiences with wool and sheep farming. After shearing, Judie takes her spinning wheel into classrooms to show the students what happens to the wool after shearing.
If you want a skirted fleece for washing, carding, and spinning yourself, contact us before April 15.
Send us your address and we will send you a sample card of the different colors and samples of the 2 and 3-ply yarn. Once you knit or crochet with this super soft yet strong natural wool, you won’t want to use anything else.
