THE SHEEPSHED

The best in fibers

Welcome to Mountain View farm. The history of our farm starts back about 25 years ago. It all started when we were looking for a house to support our growing family. After endless days of looking we found ourselves not satisfied with anything that we had found yet. But one day we found ourselves looking in New Boston and that's when we found the right house. Soon enough we were settled in. After endless hours of working the house finally started to look like something great. We did many different things to the house from tearing down the old barn and putting up a new addition to doing the smallest things like putting in gardens. After years of hard work the house looked great and that's when we started to do other things. We acquired some animals to start up a small farm. It was around the year 1986 that we started to think about making a small shop where we could sell our fibers, thus the Sheep Shed was born. After years of hard work our small business grew into something much bigger, and eventually even our daughters became interested in it. So we let them do smaller things like feed the animals and help us felt. And now in 2008 the Sheep Shed is still growing, and it's almost unbelievable that we started this about 22 years ago.

Jacquard Acid Dyes - 1/2 ounce size 4.25

Use vinegar as the mordant - so safe for septic systems, and around children and animals. Can use in the washer to dye, or can use on the stove for painting fiber.

We use these dyes for our projects and have been very pleased with the results.

Each container does 2-3 pounds of wool, and can be used in small batches, or all at once.
