FUZZY BRITCHES FIBER·SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2019·

Fuzzy Britches Fiber is a small hobby farm located in Stanwood Washington. As a spinner, I was intrigued by the notion of raising my own fiber. We currently raise Blue Faced Leicester and Tunis Sheep along with Angora Rabbits. We strive to raise our animals on a small scale in a healthy setting. All of our animals are humanely raised,

and are first and foremost pets. They are lovingly cared for, and in return supply our small farm with fiber for spinning, compost for the garden, and hours of enjoyment. We work hard to advocate for these amazing animals, and all of the resources they can provide. Our dream is to build a viable fiber business using locally sourced wool, while providing a loving and forever home to the animals who have provided us with so much!

We want to take the opportunity with the new year to introduce (or re-introduce) ourselves to our community members. We are a small farm located in Stanwood Washington. As a spinner, I was intrigued by the notion of raising my own fiber. We currently raise Blue Faced Leicester and Tunis Sheep along with Angora Rabbits. We work hard to advocate for these amazing animals, and all the resources they provide. Our dream is to build a viable fiber business using locally sourced wool. Over the next few weeks, we will be featuring individual animals in a “Sunday Farm Spotlight”. We hope you enjoy getting to know them and our farm a bit better.

Hard to believe these piles are the exact same amount of fiber! The before and after of flicking Bluefaced Leicester locks. This step of wool processing helps to open up and align the fibers. The end result is a bouncy pile of wool that will be easier to control during spinning.

These little munchkins are almost 2 weeks old. Ears are starting to stand, eyes are starting to open and they are thriving under mom’s watchful eye. Thinking of holiday themed names for this bunch since they were born on Christmas Day. #frenchangora #fiberfarm #farmlife

Sunday Farm Spotlight: Bernadette - Satin Angora Bernadette joined our farm in July of 2022 when she was just 8 weeks old. She is a Chocolate Satin angora that grows beautiful fiber. As she matured, she quickly gained the spot of top fiber producer in the rabbit barn. She has produced two litters and all of her babies have lovely personalities and are producing beautiful fiber - just like their mom. Bernadette has been a fantastic addition to our fiber program, and we are lucky to have her. #angorarabbit #satinangora #farmlife #raisingwoolanimals #localwool #familyfarm #angorarabbitfiber #fiberfarm

It’s St. Distaff’s Day! We are set up and ready to see you at Lucille Umbarger Elementary. We have Tunis, Bluefaced Leicester, Jacob and Angora products available for your next project! #fiberfarm #localwool #farmtoyarn #fiberartscommunity

If you purchased anything from us this year or showed our small farm any kind of love - thank you! We have continued to expand slowly but surely - shipping our wool to 22 states (as well as Canada), expanding our product line, and organizing breed study groups and craft gatherings. Your trust, support and encouragement are treasured and appreciated. We look forward to continuing to expand our farm and fiber products in the coming year. Thank you for your support! #localwool #fiberfarm #farmtoyarn #raisingwoolanimals

Fuzzy Britches Fiber is a small hobby farm located in Stanwood Washington. As a spinner, I was intrigued by the notion of raising my own fiber. We currently raise Blue Faced Leicester Sheep and Angora Rabbits, although we hope to raise a diverse flock of fiber animals in the future. We strive to raise our animals on a small scale in a healthy setting.

All of our animals are humanely raised, and are first and foremost pets. They are lovingly cared for, and in return supply our small farm with fiber for spinning, compost for the garden, and hours of enjoyment.

We work hard to advocate for these amazing animals, and all of the resources they can provide. Our dream is to build a viable fiber business using locally sourced wool, while providing a loving and forever home to the animals who have provided us with so much!
