I have quite a few tadpoles on my blog roll that sell/buy wool. [Knitting Nurse, Gizmo, Antiquity Oaks] Some are sheep, some are alpaca, etc.
May I ask why you are asking this? Are you thinking of starting up a business? Knitting your own? Just doing a poll for the census? heehee
Not being nosy, but you have me wondering.
Icelandic fleeces will be available from us in spring - hand shorn, no chemicals, naturally raised. :)
There's also a couple of non-Icelandic fleeces about, usually ... I've got a whole Hampshire one in the fibre room at the moment.
www.applejackcreek.com for info - we are in Alberta, Canada.
we sell wool from our Jacob sheep. This year we should have 7 fleeces available. We generally shear mid March to early April. Check our farm site for more info www.mizrahimanor.com

The reason I am asking is because I frequently get emails asking if I sell any of my wool. I thought it would be great to advertise for soe of my readers, and give me a good place to refer the emailers to.
I love wool! I have enough stash at this point but loved visiting the websites, good prices too!
Off topic, but I think you did a darn good job on the podcast. Just got done listening to it.
Hey this is a neat idea. We are going to be selling our wool this year. We raise Navajo Churro Sheep.

That is awesome Phelan. Thanks for the response. I will let my pals know too, okay? :D
When I've unburied my wheel, I'll be in the market for fleeces, but I'm in the wrong country :(
blushing APN, Thank you.
Jennifer, I will put you down.
Skippymom, that would be great.
Killi, I have readers all over the word, I should have said State/Country. Let me know when you are ready and I will put you on the list.

"Our sheep are shorn the old-fashioned way, with a pair of human-powered hand shears, resulting in a sheep that looks like it was attacked by a weed whacker and an easily-skirted pile of fleece with very few second cuts."
This off your website was cracking me up! I love honest people.
We are just starting out but I will be having angora fiber for sale soon, later this year we will have alpaca wool we plan on selling. http://naturesenchantments.blogspot.com/

I think this is a great idea and I am enjoying everyones sites! I really need to get a spinning wheel!
I have 6 suffolk ewes that will need to be sheared this April or May. I have shears to do it but it kills my back to do it. I put an ad in the local paper free wool if you shear sheep. Noone has taken me up on the offer yet so I do it my self and give the wool to my sister-in-law who gives it to her mother. That being said if you want to shear my sheep you can have the wool. I live in Northeast Missouri. www.kjkfarm.webs.com
