Welcome to Cross Wind Farm

"On Cloud Wool"
Carloway Mill, Isle of Lewis, Scotland
Welcome to Cross Wind Farm! Here you’ll get a glimpse into our farm and our beloved sheep. I’m Carol Densmore, master spinner, shearer, and head shepherdess here at the farm. Make no mistake, running a farm is demanding, time consuming, and downright exhausting at times and the gears would stop in their tracks without my dear husband, the top notch shepherd.

I strive to bring you yarn and spinning fibers from our sheep as well as other fiber related products you may enjoy. Visit the Shop for a listing of the yarn, fiber, and other related items we offer.

Our yarn, roving, and combed top is breed specific and many times sheep specific. Each fleece is processed individually or combined with a few others. That way the sheep’s name(s) stays with that batch. It’s very rewarding to match yarn and roving/top with the sheep out in the pasture.

I love to get people spinning and to share my passion for wool and the wonderful fiber from so many other plants and animals. Head over to the workshops page to see the variety of classes that I offer. If you’re interested in having me teach, feel free to contact me.
