Icelandic Wool Rovings and Yarns:
Cleaned and carded into spinners roving a MN woolen mill, then handspun by us into 2 ply yarns. Our handspun yarns sell for about $20 per 100 yards.
Our wool rovings sell for about $2 per ounce.
Icelandic wool contains two types of fiber: the thel or undercoat that is very fine with lots of crimp, and the tog that has a longer staple (3-6"), is less fine, and has lots of natural curl. The thel and tog have been combined in our rovings. These rovings are priced according to the weights after processing, but they may vary slightly in weight (5% or less) after purchase due to moisture loss during storage.
Sheep Horns:
$10 to $15 each, depending on size. These horns have tons of possible artistic and functional uses, including making buttons or jewelry. Here are just a couple of examples using the whole horn:
Icelandic Sheepskins:
In an effort to use every part of the animals we have butchered, we pay to have the hides processed for sale. We’ll have a variety of sizes and colors available throughout the year with prices ranging from $75 for small to $150 for large. The hides are prepared professionally by Bucks Co. Fur Products with a washable tan so they may be cleaned in your washer on gentle cycle. Washing instructions are supplied with each sheepskin. Icelandic sheepskins are beautiful, very flexible and supple, and are great for rugs, chair or couch throws, pillows, placing on your car or truck seat in the cold winter months, cushions, wall hangings, garment trim, crafts, and many other uses. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a sheepskin.
