Wool Sales
"She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff."
Fleece Description
The color is light ivory to cream, with a spinning count of 54s (27.85 to 29.20 microns) to 58s (24.29 to 26.39 microns). The quality of wool should be uniform throughout. Belly and udder wool tends to be less dense. A minimum of 3 1/2 inches of annual fleece growth should be expected. Unskirted, ewes shear 8 to 10 pounds of wool and rams shear 10 to 15 pounds of wool although some individuals may shear longer and heavier fleeces. The yield should range from 50 to 70%.

Pre-Order Yearly Fleeces
We are now taking pre-orders for our 2024 fleeces. Contact us at sharpfamilyfarm316@gmail.com to inquire about availability and options. You can also visit our Etsy Shop to see what is available from what has been already processed.
Outside of our Etsy Shop, payments can be made through Paypal.
We participate in the Shave 'Em to Save 'Em program of The Livestock Conservancy.
At Sharp Family Farm, we have set aside one of our ram's entire fleeces each year to be sold for charity. However, you can also contribute directly to our fundraiser with the DAV by going to our campaign page on their website.

Ram Fleeces
We shear in bulk our rams that are up for sale. For the 2024 shearing, our plan is to divide the fleeces and leave some of the fiber its natural color while dyeing other portions black and red.....for the UGA Bulldog fans out there.
