Lambing season runs from the end of December to late March. Some sheep operations will actually breed twice a year in order to provide lamb for Easter and Christmas. In Sussex County, there is a word of mouth network among sheep breeders for the lamb meat market. Shearing occurs once a year in the springtime. The fleece is then hand washed in warm water and soap, cared and spun and some of it is dyed.
Fleece is available at the farm in three colors - white, black and gray.
Carla sells hand knitted, hand woven and hand dyed products at craft shows. People who want to spin their own wool purchase them or they can be used for stuffing pillows and for a variety of craft projects.
