Shetland sheep are native to the Scottish Shetland Isles.

Wild Flower Farm sells Shetland wool and garb in many styles and colors.

Spring is shearing season at Wild Flower Farm!

The skin of Shetland sheep is too delicate for electric clippers so spring months are spent shearing each animal by hand until every sheep has a short summer hair cut.

Shetlands are small but majestic in stature. As such, they are not a meat

sheep, they are bred solely for their wool.

Wool

All of our sheep are sheared by hand with scissors. The fleece is then hand washed and spread out to dry. Peggy then spins the wool on a wooden spinning wheel.

Mittens

To keep your hands warm.

Fringed Ponchos

Fashion forward and functional capelets bridge the gap between a cape and a scarf. They can be turned and worn in any direction, and even bundle similarly to a scarf. They are also large enough to make a hood and scarf combination.

Scarves

One of our best selling items, scarves are a perfect gift for men and women. Elasticity in the knitting allows for great versatility in how they are worn.

Hats

Sock hats are lightweight and comfortable.
