Coopworth is a Longwool breed created by crossbreeding Romney and Border Leicester sheep. The breed standard focuses on production as opposed to the way the sheep looks ( ), so some Coopworth look more like Romney and some have the clean head and roman noses of Border Leicester. Creamy white, strong fiber with an opalescence that dyes beautifully.

Llama-Rama!
Price range: $28.00 through $33.00 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page

Llama is a camelid fiber, actually more like hair than sheep wool which has crimp. Llamas’ natural colors are different than sheep and we love the ecru, brown and bittersweet brown in this yarn which are not dyed at all. The strong and drapey nature of this yarn lends itself to both crochet and weaving as well as knitting.
farm sources: hand selected llama fleeces from “The Farm” (our friends from Endless Summer Harvest’s other farm where they raised llamas) and Downey Ridge Farm in Luray, Virginia. Romney from Solitude and Weather Lea in Loudoun County, Virginia.
