Meet Barley, one of our handsome brown Finnsheep rams here at Hedgerow Willows Flock & Farm in Ferndale, Washington.
Barley’s fleece is a beautiful rich chocolate brown with a soft, medium luster, giving this fiber a warm, earthy character that is unmistakably his. There is something especially satisfying about spinning naturally colored wool—the depth of color and subtle variation are already there, created by the sheep themselves.
This farm-raised Finnsheep roving comes from Barley’s own fleece, giving you the opportunity to spin with fiber that can be traced right back to the ram who grew it. We love keeping that connection between sheep, pasture, farmer, and maker.
Finnsheep are treasured for their soft, versatile wool and beautiful natural luster, making their fiber a joy to explore at the spinning wheel or spindle. Barley’s rich brown fleece would make a gorgeous natural handspun yarn, whether you leave its chocolate color untouched or blend it with other fibers to create something entirely your own.
Sold by the ounce, Barley’s roving lets you purchase exactly what you need. Try an ounce as a spinning sample, combine it with another Finnsheep color for a naturally blended yarn, or collect enough for a larger knitting, crochet, or weaving project.
At Hedgerow Willows, we love celebrating the individual character of each sheep in our flock. Their fiber isn't simply wool—it is a little piece of the animal, the season, and the farm where it was grown.
Every fleece tells a story. This one belongs to Barley.
