All of these jacketed fleeces and are VM free unless noted (those that do have VM are very minimal and did wear a coat for the winter hay feeding time.) I have some 6 month Cooworth lamb fleeces that I'm selling for a local flock. I may have some mohair fleeces available this spring after I go through them.

Psalm 23 Farm is now offering wool/mohair CSA shares. For $130 a year or $70 twice yearly you will receive a total of approx. 4# of wool and wool/mohair roving spaced between 4 shipments every 3 months, Jan., Apr., Jul., and Oct. in a multitude of colors (dyed and natural.) The CSA year will be based on when I receive payment-the first shipment being sent the closest month to then. You will also enjoy a biannual newsletter on the farm. I do have to limit the number of shares to 15.<br /><br />Psalm 23 Farm's soft, lustrous wool and mohair comes from Shetland and Shetland cross (Coopworth and Corriedale) sheep as well as colored and white Angora goats. All breedingstock have names and graze on lush pastures during the growing season. In the winter all sheep and goats wear coats to keep their wool and mohair pristine.<br /><br />I can send samples upon request.<br /><br />If interested e-mail me with your address and I will send you a form or simply send me your name, address, phone, and e-mail along with the payment of choice.<br /><br />Laura Matthews<br />12223 Lax Chapel Rd.<br />Kiel, WI 53042<br />(920)273-1849<br />ps23farm@yahoo.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3439582986261804231-5854827660101788044?l=psalm23fibers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11586123852648939448noreply@blogger.com0
