At Fleecwood, we farm sheep for their wool. We produce a wide variety of wool-types in natural colours including white, greys, black, oatmeal and rich honey brown. We also develop woolcraft techniques and equipment, and sell a wide range of woolcraft supplies, including Fleecewood, Wizpick and Ashford brands.

Most weekends from November to March we share our expertise through Creative Woolcraft Workshops. These friendly, small group, half-day workshops provide an introductory experience in washing and dyeing fleece, felting, spinning and weaving. They have been designed for visitors to Nelson, but are equally enjoyable for locals.

For those wanting to learn something at a more advanced level, or different fibrecraft skills, we tailor classes to suit. We are also happy to travel to tutor elsewhere.
