A sustainable sheepskin alternative
Sheep have been domesticated and bred to produce thick, heavy coats that do not shed. This means they rely on farmers to shear them annually. We take the raw, dirty fleece from their annual haircuts and piece it back together using various felting techniques. Traditional pelts have leather (skin) on the back of the fleece. Hence the name sheepskin. These are dead animals. No animals are harmed via our method of production.
Romeldale Fleece - Wellington

CVM/Romeldale fleece from a sheep named Wellington!
Wellington lives at Heather Ridge Farm, a historic 200 year old “hill farm” stewarded by Carol Clement in Preston Hollow, NY.
The CVM and Romeldale sheep have never been numerous, and today they are considered quite rare. The breed’s fleece quality and performance characteristics, however, make them useful for many production systems and valuable to handspinners and other fiber artists (more can be read on the breed via The Livestock Conservancy’s website).

The Teeswater sheep breed was developed in the Teeswater region of England. In the 1920s the breed was faced with near extinction. The lustrous, low-lanolin, kemp-free fleece of the Teeswater is appreciated by hand spinners for its staple length and fine, long curly locks. Fiber growth is up to one inch per month with little to no cross fibering. Teeswater sheep were imported to the United States in the 1800’s but lost popularity due to importation of other long wooled breeds.

The six-petal rosette (also known as a hexafoil) is an ancient geometric symbol formed by overlapping six circles within a larger boundary. Revered in sacred geometry, it is the foundational building block for complex patterns like the Seed of Life and the Flower of Life. Dating back to the Bronze Age, the symbol appears globally in Celtic, Egyptian, Roman, and early Christian art. It has historically served as a protection symbol for the home.
