5 out of 5 starsThe heaviness of this yarn gives such lovely definition to the plying. The colors - deep brown mostly, a bit of gray, of chestnut and tones in between - make it so rich. Extraordinary. Thank you.

From our farm to you.
La Piccolina is the family adventure we launched in 2012: a 107 acre farm in Uruguay, South America. I quit my wonderful job in corporate Archives, followed my parents to South America, and started learning how to farm. We knew nothing about farming but that which we'd read. So, we started from scratch. Literally. We have developed a strong commitment to permaculture; we work to combine a dairy herd, two flocks of sheep, various fowl, orchards, vegetable garden, windbreaks, and water elements to create a stable, self-renewing ecosystem.
La Piccolina Farm is our way to share our farm products, starting with gorgeous wool from our pastured, pampered flocks of sheep. We shear once a year in October. We process all wool here on the farm which allows us to enjoy the wool as well as the sheep. As a long-time fiber lover I was nearly giddy when we sheared for the first time and I found myself with over a dozen fresh wooly fleeces. Wool is my favorite fiber: renewable, versatile, comes in a range of natural colors, lengths, and diameter, and offers unlimited creative opportunity for artisans and crafters alike.
I'm learning that a successful farm is a very productive farm. Careful and responsible farm management means that we take care to use our resources wisely, looking at by-products of seasonal activities as materials that could be transformed into useful, beautiful everyday products. As we develop the farm we will slowly work to expand our shop products to reflect all parts of our farm enterprise. From our farm to you we hope you enjoy using the wonderful materials and products we create.

Shop policies
Here you will find materials and finished goods from our family farm located just outside Garzón, Uruguay, in South America. We practice permaculture principals on our farm and work hard to maximize the health of the land, our animals, and our orchards. We run flocks of naturally colored Criolla, white Romney Marsh, and Polwarth cross sheep, as well as a heard of Normandy cattle. Our orchards consist of a large Olive orchard, a small, young, Pecan orchard, and an even smaller and younger Cider apple orchard. All products are produced on our farm from materials either grown or raised on our farm.
Thank you for visiting our online shop and we hope you enjoy a little piece of our farm.
