Meet Chester, our handsome “brown” piebald Finnsheep ram here at Hedgerow Willows Flock & Farm in Ferndale, Washington.
Chester’s fleece is anything but ordinary. While he is considered brown, his piebald coloring and genetics give his fleece a beautiful oatmeal-gray appearance, with soft variations that create depth and character throughout the fiber.
This farm-raised Finnsheep roving comes from Chester’s own fleece, giving you the opportunity to spin with wool that can be traced right back to the ram who grew it. We love that connection—the sheep, the pasture, the farmer, and eventually the hands of the person who turns that fleece into something new.
Finnsheep are known for their soft, lustrous, versatile wool, and Chester's fleece is a lovely example of the natural colors and individuality that make working with breed-specific wool so much fun.
Sold by the ounce, Chester’s roving makes it easy to purchase exactly what you need. Try a small amount for a spinning sample, combine it with another color for a marled yarn, or collect enough for a larger handspinning project.
The natural oatmeal-gray color is wonderfully versatile and would make a beautiful handspun yarn for knitting, crochet, weaving, or other fiber arts. Leave it natural to celebrate Chester’s own coloring, or use it as a soft neutral foundation for your favorite dyed or blended fibers.
At Hedgerow Willows, we believe every sheep contributes something unique to the farm. Chester contributes more than genetics to our flock—he contributes beautiful fiber with a story all its own.
Every fleece tells a story. This one belongs to Chester.
