Yarns - Fibres- Dyes

Lynne & Chris Anderson

After 10+ years as yarn store owners and an ER Nurse, We are now happily ensconced where our hearts and hands feel at home.

FLEECE FARmers & fibre artists

In TAPPEN, BC CANADA

As vegetarians, We firmly believe in the ethical treatment of our animals, at shearing time and year round.

We raise our animals with the same responsibility we extended to our children, therefore they are vaccinated and medicated as needed.

Our sheep are kept for their fleeces only, no one visits the Abattoir here.

CVM/ Romeldale - from our own flock!

3 ply

307 metres / 335 yards - 113 grams

Worsted Weight

Our flock did darn good this year. Everybody on the farm stayed healthy (besides a few minor colds for us) and as a result, the hand of their wool this year is stellar.

CVM/Romeldale is categorized as a fine fleece with a tight crimp - which means squishy yarn!

We have our fleeces processed and spun at Custom Woolen Mills. It’s not just that we think they make beautiful yarns, we love their efforts to use earth friendly scouring agents and their commitment to preserving the production of woolen yarns in Canada too. Thank you Custom Woolen Mills!
