Navajo-Churro wool locks being woven into a Navajo-Churro warp yarn.

Traceability became important to me after I started weaving because I wanted to know where my materials were coming from.

I am delighted that I am able to weave with our very own farm-raised fibre.

A Navajo-Churro wether named Finn showcasing his open fleece while eating out of the hay feeder.

A close-up of Finn's fleece, locks being parted open to visualize the skin.

Did you know that open fleeces typically occur where the sheep need the ability to shake the water away from their skin? This means you have distinct and separate locks and can part the fleece down to the skin with ease.
