At The Sheepwalk, we believe that your product is important which means we take care to share with you any ideas we have or troubles we come across. Nothing is impossible. We had wash the whites to make sure they are bright and hand wash the delicates, such as suri, to maintain the integrity of the products.
I have over 14 years experience as a dyer, yarn shop owner and almost 10 years under my belt as a rancher. We work with all types of fibers but specialize in the unique. We love to work in color as much as natural, so don't be shy about asking us about color swatches.
When shearing, make sure you separate your blankets from the neck and legs (2nds and 3rds). Currently everyone is having core spun yarn created with the 2nds and 3rds. We like to innovate by creating custom blends for yarn. Please ask us what's possible!
Not! We currently seek out projects that incorporate heritage breeds with unique art opportunities. Our current collaboration with the Chimayo and Opal Rugs has given our co-op a boost. In order to maintain the integrity of the projects, we work with farms and ranches who don't have an outlet for their heritage or otherwise beautiful medium to coarse wools.
