We have yarn for sale at Schoonover Farm! They are listed below. The natural colored is listed first and the hand dyed yarn listed below. For more information contact me at donnawh@earthlink.net Our sheep have been well taken care of by us to ensure healthy and clean fleeces. They were carefully sheared, and their fleeces dried. I then skirted the fleeces and selected the best ones to include in this yarn. The fleeces were then sent to Stonehedge Fiber Mill and were processed and spun into 2 ply sport yarn. The resulting yarn is soft but durable and would be well suited for knitting.
These are my hand dyed yarns.
Hand dyed brown Shetland yarn from Daphnie, Hansel, Huey, Jemima, Miss Lizzie, Lou and Shaun 250 yards $10 (2 skeins left)
Kool-Aid hand dyed brown Shetland yarn from Daphnie, Hansel, Huey, Jemima, Miss Lizzie, Lou and Shaun 250 yards $10 (2 skeins left)
2 ply fingering brown CVM yarn from Mutiny hand dyed with Greener Shades Amazon Green dye, 250 yards, $10 (1 skein left)
Hi I am interested in the Gotland/Finn fingering yarn, 250 yds for $9. How do I purchase??
Thanks RJ! You can send me your address to calculate shipping and then make payment via a mailed check or Palpal. I will email you privately with more specifics.
Do yo have catalogs? I love your colors of your yarn….
Hello Ethel,
We do not have paper catalogs, just what is on the web site. Thank you for the compliment. And let me know if you have any other questions. I do have more yarn available other than what is shown so if you have a particular color or yarn weight you would like, let me know.

I am interested in 6 skeins of 3 ply gotland-finn and would love to pay for samples of other yarns –
OK, I will email you privately with more information.
Ok, disregard my previous request on Hazelnut’s fleece – I think I’d rather have a couple of skeins of the brown shetland instead (from the top of the page.) Would you let me know how much the yarn plus shipping would be for two skeins to Idaho, 83201? Thanks! Teresa
Hi again,
I will email you privately with the shipping estimate.
Thanks!

Hi Donna,
Can you tell me if you have Shetland yarn, preferably sport weight in natural colours – cream, black, or grey?
I live in British Columbia – is that a problem to ship?
Hello Patricia,
I have sport weight Shetland yarn in a light grey and a medium brown. The brown is not light enough to call cream colored. The California Red yarn I have is cream colored. It is not a problem to ship to BC.
Donna
Hello, Patricia,
I saw your site through going site hopping, and thought wow, that is so cool. I once lived out on Lopez Island, and I have got to say that Washington state is truly God’s country. Anyway, do you ever have any of you lighter colored wool spun into fingering wt, or even lace wt? I ask,because I do quite a bit of lace knitting. Many thanks, in advance, for reading this, and replying.
Hello Marie,
I have CVM and California Red yarns that are fingering weight and are listed at https://schoonoverfarm.wordpress.com/yarn-for-sale/ The California Red is the lighter one in color.

Hi Melissa,
I will just need to know how much of each you would like. I will need a zip code to calculate shipping. I did email you so we can make arrangements.

Do you still do brush clearing with the goats? We are in La Conner and would be interested.
Thank you,
Peggy
Hello Peggy,
Yes. It is $250 per day. Currently we have 15 goats. We bring portable electric fencing and our camper van to watch over them. So we need to be able to set up these items and there can not be poisonous plants. Let me know if you are still interested.

Do you have any yarn yet this year? Oh, I love reading your blog every day . Thanks for having it, and for making stories about your farm and your life style a place to dream about. Until I can make your lifestyle mine, I shall have to dream about it while knitting. I surly hope you still have some of your yarns available.I’m
There will not be any new yarns this year. I will have fleeces available soon and will be making batts and rugs with them. I am glad you enjoy the blog.
Love these Donna. I forget if you take paypal?
Thanks,
Pat B in British Columbia
I do.
I would like 6-8 skeins of one of the natural colours. Can you tell me which of the sport weight you have in stock?
Thanks
Pat
I have 6-8 skeins of Wendel’s mioget sport weight yarn. I only have 5 of the black sport weight and less of the others.
Donna, can you tell me what the yarn is like. I only know that double coated fleeces have both course and fine fibre. What is this yarn like? By that I mean what does it feel like? It looks very lustrous in the photo…is it? If so that usually means it feels silky.
We got home from a trip today and I’m going to bed now. I’ll respond tomorrow. Night!
It is lustrous and silly as well as double coated. I could send you some as a sample if you would like.
I think I’d like to order some. I’d like 7 skeins please. I’ll be away today, but if you could private message me with the invoice and your details, i’ll send the money via paypal once i get back home.
Thank you!
OK. I will get an invoice ready for you.
Hi again Donna,
After thinking about it, i’d like 1 more skein. I got your invoice and will pay that one. Please charge me for one more skein. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience!
PatB
I think the color is beautiful as it is but see what you think. I will get the yarn packaged up for you today and mail it in the morning. I would love to see what you make with it!
How did I get in this feed and how do I remove myself

You inquired about purchasing Gotland yarn back in 2011 and must have click on the “send me comments” at that time. If you go to wordpress.com and find what feeds you are subscribed to, you should be able to unsubscribe from this one.
Hi Donna,
Can you delete my mail with my address. I thought I was sending you an email!
Thanks
Yes I can. I was wondering about that.
Donna
Thank you Donna. I’ll send a photo of my sweater. I’m doing test knitting for a designer and her designs are spectacular. I’m not sure yet what I’ll knit.
