Welcome to Fossil Creek Fibers!
***********************************************************************
Located in the beautiful Otselic Valley of Central NY, we have a small mixed flock of fiber sheep and several angora rabbits.
I am a fiber holic - I admitt it.
Maybe you are too, if so, then Welcome Friend!
As a fiber addict, I love to wallow in the newly shorn fleeces from my sheep, feeling the texture,
smelling the lanolin and sheep smell, ooo-ing and ahh-ing over such things as crimp and color.
I also do the same for friends and fellow shepards.
Each spring I acquire fleeces and each spring I tell myself -
NO MORE FLEECES!
The old saying "JUST SAY NO" doesn't apply to fiber addicts, I'm afraid.
I have rationalized that the only way to continue is to begin to sell my fiber.
Appalled at the suggestion of parting with my coveted fleeces, I have gradually come to see, that if I sell my fiber THIS year,
I can have more lambs for NEXT year! Yippee!
Not a bad trade off since lambs are ssooooo worth having every year.
Pretty good trade off I think, and fleece on the hoof is every bit as addictive as shorn fleece!
As for the bunns - we have English, German and Satin Angoras at the moment.
Colors are white, black, grey and tricolored ( broken tort is the official name for it )
which is white, brown and almost peach colored on the same bunn.
Our sheep are:
Fleeces range from white to shades of colors from grey to black.
