We are Emily McIvor and Jodi Schamberger. Two fiesty ladies living on two of British Columbia’s Southern Gulf Islands. We are farmers and fibre artists first.

Our foundation ewes are Romney Cotswold cross. We have had two Bluefaced Leicester rams, so the current generation is 50% BFL. The Cotswold Romney cross gives us very large fleeces with long staple length. The BFL adds softness and lustre. The sheep have bare legs and faces and alert, upright ears. The ewes are good mothers and they thrive in our damp westcoast winters. We love natural browns, greys and blacks and we select our breeding stock to preserve and intensify colour characteristics. Jodi has kept a small group of Black Welsh Mountain sheep to breed in for their black colour that doesn’t turn grey with age.

In 2021, we brought in a line of coloured Romeldale sheep. Our romeldales have micron tested at 22-27 mircons. The four ewes and ram we brought in are all coloured, with two ewes being moorit coloured and two being badger faced with a light grey fleece also known as California variegated mutant (CVM).

We provide top quality ecologically sustainable yarns and prepared fibre for knitters, hand spinners and other makers. We think it matters where things come from and where they go. We think it matters how animals and humans are treated. And we like making.

Beautiful yarns and fibre from the Gulf Islands of British Columbia
