This is Central Otago grown Romney. The White is supplied to us from Lauder Falls Romney Stud in Wyndham, New Zealand, and the Natural Coloured Wool is homegrown here on Tally Ho Farm.
It is fantastic spun in a woollen spin on your wheel, a very good wearing casual fibre. It felts well when asked, ideal for those sturdier projects, bags, slippers, boots, hats, etc. The list of its uses goes on. It is an excellent base for your weaving projects. Fantastic for Kiwi Knitting.

Our Romney is grown in Southland, New Zealand. It is supplied to us by Lauder Falls Romney Stud.
It is a versatile product used in many different ways: spinning, felting, weaving, stuffing, ideal for kiwi knitting, and so on. It is dyed for us locally by Ashfords at their mill in Milton.
I love spinning it using the long draw method; it seems to put air in my spin and leaves me with a lovely soft product to create with.

We are lucky to have the only side-exiting private machine in New Zealand; this enables us to put colours within colours, giving a lovely flecked look when spun.
We have used Lauder Falls Romney, which has been dyed for us by Ashfords and then carded specially. This fibre looks amazing, plied on itself or with one of the solid colours within it. Let your imagination go….. I personally like it plied with light silver.
It felts well for those sturdier projects. Romney is an excellent base for weaving as well.
As this is a popular fibre, we don’t always have them in stock; just ask. Sometimes, there are some one-off colour mixes on hand as well.

The Gotland is a rare breed of sheep, originally from the Isle of Gotland in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It is well known for its length, curls and natural lustre. It is a simple pleasure to spin and work with.
We have our own flock of Gotlands; hence this fibre is something we are proud of.
I personally find that a nice woollen spin keeps it soft. It overdyes well with stunning results.

We source our Winter Possum from the depths of the forests in Rangitiki; this ensures it is true Winter Possum, which holds the heat and provides warmth.
The Silver we combined with already combed 19 micron merino, and we recard it with the Possum blended in.
The brown is 20 micron Merino carded only with the Possum blended in.
When using this fibre, after you have spun and hanked it, we recommend that you are a little harder in the washing process than you normally are to start the felting process to help stop the possum shedding.
