Fleecewood is a 30 Ha farm nestled in the Nelson foothills, about 30 minutes drive from Richmond. For more than 20 years we have been producing quality fleeces specifically for spinning and other handcraft use, and now stock associated supplies and equipment ( www.woolcraft.co.nz ).
We also offer small group workshops ( www.woolcraftworkshops.co.nz ) on many aspects of woolcraft, including spinning, fleece preparation and dyeing, weaving, knitting and felting (including needle felting). Visitors and students are welcome to make friends with the sheep.
Visit by appointment only. Please ring or email.
