Shearing Day + Corriedale Confetti

It’s Shearing Day! Don’t miss this once-a-year event at Savage Hart Farm. 

We’re also excited to introduce our new Corriedale Confetti pin-drafted roving. The beautiful light gray, undyed Corriedale is flecked with colorful bits of shredded silk. The pin-drafted roving is a dream to hand-spin, and spins up into a stunning tweedy yarn you’ll love working with.
