Text Box: We take pride in offering you the best wool we can.  Recently, our Cormo wool has been getting a lot of attention.  On a whim we decide to try entering a few fleece contests in 2005.  The results surprised even us.  We were awarded Champion White Fleece at the Shepherd’s Harvest at Lake Elmo, MN.  The judge commented on the cleanliness and strength of that fleece.  Then in Sept we entered another fleece at the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival.  That fleece won Best of Show.  The judge there awarded it with a perfect score, and said, “This is one of the best fleece I have ever seen.”  In 2006 we again entered fleece contests with similar results– Champion White Fleece at Shepherd’s Harvest, Reserve Grand Champion at Michigan Fiber Festival, and Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival.  We are overwhelmed and so excited about this great response to our Cormo wool. 
Every fleece we sell get the same attention as our show fleeces.   I am very fussy about vegetable matter and fleece quality.  I don’t like to spin  poor wool, and I do not want anyone else to either.  We take great care in offering only the best and cleanest wool we can.  Every fleece is heavily skirted whether it is sold raw or as roving and yarn.  If there are any faults we will tell you.
Our Cormos are covered year round, and our Icelandics are shorn in the fall as they come off pasture.  This allows us to offer only the cleanest wool and most uniform wool possible.  To learn more about our sheep visit the Cormo and Icelandic sheep page.
