Welcome to our website! We are a small farm in northern Indiana dedicated exclusively to fiber and the ancient textile arts of feltmaking, spinning, weaving, and knitting. Among the livestock we care for are Cormo sheep, a couple of Cotswolds, llamas, our corgi pup Aggie, and our beautiful Maremma/Akbash guardian dog Anya. We have been raising sheep and goats for nearly fifteen years, and llamas for ten. Of late we have been devoted to building our herd of Cormo sheep, a breed we highly appreciate for the fineness and consistent quality of its fiber. We have registered breeding stock for sale currently. We also generally have Cormo crossbreds available bred specifically for wool characteristics. These crosses include Cormo X Wensleydale and Cormo X Corriedale.
Majacraft Spinning Wheels and Supplies
Our llama herd has also been steadily increasing, and we have quality females and guardian males for sale. We are always happy to answer questions about Cormo sheep and llamas; just give us an e-mail. We carry many wool products, including roving, felting batts, and raw fleeces.
We also are a Majacraft Spinning Wheel dealer, and offer a complete line of wheels and accessories. Popular wheels include Majacraft's Little Gem, a fine portable wheel for the spinner on the go, and the Majacraft Rose, a top of the line production wheel. Crafted of Rimu wood, a native New Zealand timber, these wheels are lovely to look at as well as spin upon. We've carried Majacraft wheels for about 10 years now, and they are the only line of wheels we carry because we believe them to be about the best out there. We are always happy to let you try a Majacraft wheel at one of the many fiber festivals we attend, or at our farm in Walkerton, Indiana. We offer PayPal now for those who would like to purchase a wheel using a credit card. Majacraft is a family owned spinning wheel business based in New Zealand, and here is a link for their site,www.majacraft.co.nz, if you would like to check out for more specifications on the wheels.
Since we are active spinners, knitters, weavers, and feltmakers ourselves, we offer several kinds of supplies for these activities. Needle-felting is one of our favorite things to do nowadays, and it is such a versatile, portable form of felting. We offer a variety of needle felting tools (stabber-jabbers as we like to call them) including 4,6, and 9 needlers. We also carry foam forms invented by our friend Suzanne Higgs which enable one to make hats, slippers, purses, mittens, etc. Needle felting is fast, easy, and a lot of fun, and I would encourage everyone to give it a try. Below is a simple purse combining both needle felting and water felting techniques.
To needle felt, one must have fiber. Hence we offer Cormo fleeces, rovings, and batts as well as many blends including llama, cotswold, silk, and alpaca. Roving is available in natural white or hand-dyed colors.This year, we are offering a commercial cormo yarn for the knitter as well.
Lastly, we offer our own handcrafted goods for sale, including Jennifer's fine felt hats and scarves and my original etchings of sheep. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please e-mail or feel free to call.
Thank you for visiting!
