One Woman Wools
It all comes back to the sheep
One Woman Wools is the fiber brand of Valley View Farm. Like everything on the farm, everything I do in the brand comes back to the sheep. They are my deepest connection to the farm and my work. There is something so special about watching the fiber grow, the excitement of shearing day and then holding a year of hard work (mine and theirs) in my arms. After shearing the real fiber work begins. I select a few special fleeces to process myself and a few to sell to fiber artists. The rest are prepared and sent to the mill to be made into prepared fiber (roving and yarn).
Dyed Fibers
I prepare and dye both my own flock's fiber and commercial fibers. Commercial fibers allow me to add a variety of textures to my fiber offerings and maximize my time in processing the few fleeces I select from my sheep (a very time consuming process). Color excites me and I love to create combinations that I want to spin and share with other fiber artists.
How to purchase
There are several ways to get your own One Woman Wools fiber. I do several in person shows every year and love to meet and visit with fiber artists! You can find this year's schedule here.
I do periodic shop updates and you can shop online here.
I do some limited custom dyeing and also put fiber collections together for knitter/crochers, spinners and weavers. You can contact me here.
We do some online, local and regional fiber shows and would love to see you! You can find that schedule here.
One last note
As the solitary shepherdess, fiber processor, lamb cuddler, hay hauler, dyer, spinner... here at OOW, I want you to know how grateful I am that you are here. Shepherding is a an amazing and rewarding job and sometimes exhausting job and the best part is sharing the fiber rewards with others. Thank you!
