Sheep Shares - The Club for Farm Yarn & Fiber Fans

Sorry! Sheep Shares are sold out for 2010. There is a wait list for Farm Yarn Samplers & Stashes. Please email me if you wish to be put on this year's wait list. I will contact you if a space becomes available.

Please check back in the fall to reserve for Sheep Shares 2011.

A club for knitters and spinners, Sheep Shares brings farm-fresh skeins and fiber from my flock to your door four times a year.

We shear our sheep and goats just once a year. Precious and limited, our wool clip reflects a year's work in meticulously caring for our animals and tending the fleeces - our principal farm product. Our yarn and fiber processing runs are staggered so that each season brings a new yarn or new roving blend.

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

You may download a PDF of the enrollment form here.

The Knitty-Gritty Details:


- All programs are payable in full via personal check, Pay Pal, master card or visa prior to first shipment.


- Club enrollment begins with the first shipment in May (the spring share) and ends with the winter share, shipped in December. This timing follows the natural cycle of shearing and fiber processing at the farm.


- Enrollment is capped in each program per season to ensure availability for club members.


- The prices include postage via priority mail within the contiguous United States. Additional shipping costs apply to orders sent to Alaska, Hawaii and outside the U.S. Shipping prices may increase within the course of the year, if U.S. postal rates increase. I will notify you if an adjustment must be made to shipping costs.


- To keep matters simple, please choose the program that most appeals to you (for example, hand-dye Fiber Sampler or Natural Farm Yarn Stash). If you ever wish to purchase an additional item from outside your program, I can include it at no additional shipping cost.


- If you withdraw from the club for any reason, a refund will be issued for any non-shipped installments, less a $10 processing fee.


- I have been raising fiber animals for more than a decade and am very proud of the high quality farm fibers we produce. My customer service and satisfaction policies apply to all fiber club purchases.
