Wool Products
Wool products available exclusively from our Gotland Sheep.
Gotland wool is known for being exceptional quality wool for yarn work and felting in lustrous shades ranging from dark charcoal grey to light silver. Sparrow Lark Farm sheers twice a year, which is best practice for Gotlands.
Sparrow Lark Farm's Wool Products
We provide a variety of hand-made wool products as well as raw wool. As our product lists grow, feel free to reach out with custom requests. New products are introducted each year at the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival.
Felted Soap
Felted Soaps are made by wrapping clean wool around soap and wet felting. The result is a wool wrapped soap that is an excellent exfoliator. Unlike regular bars of soap that can be slippery, the felted wool helps to provide a textured surface. This allows the soap to last longer, provides a cleaner clean to you, and is excellent for the environment.
Decorative Barn Quilts
Each of our Decorative Barn Quilts are unique and made by hand. Solid wood backing for easy mounting or display. They come in a variety of color and styles for every holiday or every day display.
Dyed Locks
With curls as beautiful as these, the options for use in art yard, felting, and crafting are limitless. Our dyed locks are varied and beautiful. Sold by the ounce, you can pick and choose what works best for a project or grab a variety for inspiration for a new project.
Bats
Gotland winter wool is structured a little different than summer locks due to the diet change from lush spring and summer grasses to dried grass and alfalfa hay. While this winter wool growth doesn't have quite the same curl as summer, it is a lovely, soft wool that is great for spinning and felting. Snag this product for a head start in processing your own wool products.
Raw Wool
Our raw wool is from summer wool growth which means that it is cleaner since sheep are almost exclusively in fresh, clean grass pasture. Summer rains are refreshing for the sheep and keep their wool clean of debris. While this wool does still require cleaning, Gotlands naturally have less lanolin than other breeds which means less work for you. Raw wool is priced by the pound with the first fleece of a lamb going for the highest price due to its low micron count and lovely feel. Ewe and ram raw wool are also available and can be nearly as soft. Gotland wool is known for its draping ability in garment form and was used for the elven cloaks in Lord of the Rings.
Featured Product: Textured Bats
Our textured bats have a base of soft, Gotland lamb wool. Additions in color, dyed locks, and more bring life and interest to our bats that are like no other. Customers remark that they make beautiful yarn that begs for a special product and spin up fast due to the engaging elements included. Bats are each unique and can be found at our booth at any fiber festival or show.
