Greetings
Hello and welcome, thanks for dropping by our website! We, Elaina and Adam operate a small fibre farm in Ontario’s beautiful South Bruce Peninsula. We have coloured and white Angora goats, Finn and Wensleydale sheep, Alpacas too. These critters are part of the family and their fleeces, which are nothing but floofy goodness, support the wool/fibre obsession here!
We offer fleeces, locks, rovings, soap, felter’s kits, batts for wet or needle felting, as well as handspun and milled yarn and knit or crocheted items. We also have beautiful hand turned wooden crochet hooks, yarn bowls, buttons, spindles, spindle bowls and distaffs made from a variety of lovely woods to choose from. We now also carry the amazing Unicorn Products!
We are a big busy family, enjoy spending time together, trying new things and living off the land how we can. Our journey began in 2013 with our flock of chickens, no kidding they are the gateway drug of farm animals! It was so exciting having our own eggs and the wonderful companionship of chickens and their silly antics. In the meantime I learned to crochet and needle felt and became obsessed! I received a very dirty raw fleece for my birthday to have more materials to felt with. But when processed that fleece…it was like coming home. It sang to me in a way that spoke straight to my soul. There is just something so amazing about taking the fibres grown on a lovely animal and turning it into something useful, or not, it’s art! It was a connection, turned obsession. I got hooked, immediately. And here enters six angora goats and two sheep – why not right? After all we live on a farm! It just made sense. The goats and sheep were such a pleasure, and well we just grew from there. A few years after the youngest children were no longer wee babies, we had lambs and kids and cria here from our flocks and well, we have just grown from there. Many fleeces of many colours to choose from!
I offer wet felting classes here at the farm, as well as other instruction. Next on the list is uncovering some studio space for classes of many kinds as well as spin ins! Good plans! If you are interested in classes let me know.
Our shop here on the website is not much of a shop. It is only capable of listing a few things at this point. You should check out our Etsy shop, it will give you an idea of what we have, but there is always much more than listed, so do ask! I rarely list fleeces on Etsy. We can also do custom orders, feel free to contact us if you have any ideas or questions.
Reach out using our contact page. We have found our response emails often end up in the receivers junk mail box. So please add us to your email contact list if you are reaching out so you don’t miss our response! Thank you!
