Woolen Mill


Yesterday we visited a farm that has an old woolen mill. The farm is Hidden Valley and it is located in Valders, WI. One of the owners said they had 355 new lambs this year! Here are a few of them. These are Coopsworth sheep. They are raised both for quality fiber and meat. One small barn holds the woolen mill, where quilt batts are made and restored and raw fiber is washed and carded. The upstairs is filled with beautiful roving and yarn. All of this and the meat can be purchased right on site.
