Practices

General Bailey Homestead Farm prides itself on producing yarn and fiber directly from sheep raised on their American farm. The wool undergoes a meticulous process starting with shearing by the farmer, followed by washing before it's sent to Green Mountain Spinnery in Vermont for spinning. The farm's commitment to quality is evident in their hand-dyeing techniques, using Rit, Country Classic, and Gaywool dyes to create vibrant, natural variations in their yarn.

Offerings

The farm offers an extensive variety of yarn types including natural color farm yarns, worsted, and sport weight yarns. Their products feature wool from breeds like Romney, Corriedale, and Merino, known for their durability and softness. Customers can enjoy free shipping on orders over $35, making it easy to access these high-quality yarns.

How to Buy

Purchases can be made through their website where a selection of yarns and additional crafting materials are available. General Bailey Homestead Farm also offers books, spinning equipment, and hand-knitted items.

Community and Events

The farm hosts events such as the Rock Day Spinners Guild Meeting, fostering community among local fiber artists. These gatherings serve as an opportunity to share skills and explore the versatile applications of their yarns.

Location

Based in the United States, all products are shipped domestically with an estimated delivery time of 1 to 2 business days for North America. This ensures a swift and reliable purchasing experience.
