Wool / Yarn / Raw fleeces / Sheep skins
Due to the ever decreasing price I am paid for the fleeces that are sheared each year ( 2019 wool clip - 115kg = £30 payment half paid the year of shearing and the remaining paid when the British wool marketing board have sold it. Cost of shearing the flock approx. £200) I decided to have some of my 2020 shearling fleeces spun into knitting yarn by the Natural Fibre Company in Cornwall. I am incredibly lucky to be supported both in time and investment by one of my lovely lamb box customers.
​
We had 16 fleeces spun into Aran weight yarn and have it available in 100g skeins so that it can be knitted/crocheted from the skein of undone to dye a colour of your choice. These are priced at £15 each and are available to purchase on our web shop on our Lydiard Turkeys (My main business page) Other Farm produce (lydiardturkeys.co.uk)
​
Also available to purchase are Lamb skins rugs which have been organically processed in Devon. Plus Raw oxford down fleeces for your own processing.
