Crazy Quilt Homestead

CrazyQuiltHomestead's Shop Announcement

Animal friendly wool? You bet! Our sheep are never eaten, allowed to have lambs (that would increase our sheep to way many more because I would never part with them!!), or sold/given away. Many arrived with special needs, injuries or just plain needing a happy place to retire. We have also purchased, well, a bunch of our sheep just for the 'cute' factor! They make us smile and we adore them- our blessing for sure!

You can also visit the sheep on our blog at: http://farmjournal.blogspot.com !!

Crazy Quilt you ask? The name of our shop, and cornerstone of our business was inspired by my great grandmother Emma Lamp- a very talented crazy quilt artist and rug braider. Her colors were crazy to be sure, and her work exquisite!

All my handspinning and fiber/dye work is inspired by my grandmother's work. She was a free spirit and I adored her. I hope she is proud of my work.... and the sheep too! ;0)

***Please note that we have just started jacketing our sheep in winter to keep hay out of their fleeces. Until we get them all jacketed each winter, please do not be offended if you find a bit of 'character' in our fiber- there will never be an overabundance of debris, but since we do not chemically treat our wool, you may find a little here and there- I would never send out 'stinker' wool so please know we work very hard to only provide you the best wool from each sheep!! Please consider it a little 'character' from some very happy sheep- who delight in not paying attention to our clean fleece 'rules'.... bwaaahahahaha!
