Today's Spotlight: The Woolroom at Longmeadow Farm!

It's all about the sheep and the wool.

Hi, my name is Sandy Long. Welcome to The Woolroom @ Longmeadow Farm, located in the small town of Freedom, in Western New York. I reside there with my husband Tom, a flock of Romney and natural-colored Longwool sheep, and a few other farm animals and pets.

About 16 years ago, I started seriously working with and dying wool. Using fiber from my flock that is processed into yarns at Stonehedge Fibers in Michigan is my main focus, along with purchased ecru wool and wool blend yarns to hand dye. I do all of the dyeing at the farm, focusing on creating one-of-a-kind unique colorways. Exotic blends of 100% silk, baby camel with silk, and yak blends are also a favorite of the fiber arts community.

We have a few products listed online but have a larger inventory at the Farm shop. Call or email if you have any questions.
