About Us:

Jane Evans, Manager and General Animal Care Giver

My love for wool began with my hand spinning experiences. I raised Angora rabbits for show in my basement of our home in Columbus, Ohio, but after learning to spin, I really found I preferred to spin wool from sheep rather than angora from rabbits. After buying many fleeces and learning to process them myself for spinning, I began to dream of raising my own sheep someday. This dream became a reality in 2000 when my husband, Bob, and I bought a wonderful 57 acre farm near Zanesville, Ohio. I immediately got my starter flock of a Lincoln/Corriedale ram and 5 ewes of mixed Corriedale, Border Leicester and Cheviot breeds. The next year I got some registered Coopworths because I love their lofty, soft wool. My mixed breed sheep are still some of my favorites and are selected for their long, fine wool that is perfect for hand spinning. I have white and natural colored sheep, from light gray to black. Their fleeces have won blue ribbons in state and county fair competitions. Many are for sale in the raw state or processed into roving.

My colored Angora rabbits in shades from charcoal gray to champagne, produce fine mohair for spinning or blending with wool. These are also available processed into roving. Llama and alpaca roving is also for sale. Lambs will be ready to wean in the summer and some yearling ewes are available now. For our personal use, we also have dairy goats and chickens, so I am a busy person all year long, but still find time for spinning and knitting and weaving. Some hand made items and hand spun wool is for sale. Please check each category for what is available, or feel free to contact me anytime.
