Organic Icelandic Sheep and Handfelted Wearables

Windy Hamlet Farm, located on 50 acres in the charming central Massachusetts town of West Brookfield, is truly a family farm. Our extended family of Icelandic sheep, who are famous for their earth tone fleece, provide us with the wool to produce truly unique felted clothing.

Felting is an ancient craft that predates weaving. At Windy Hamlet we felt hats, shawls, scarves, rugs and wall hangings. Our Icelandic wool and dyed Merino is used for all of our creations. The results are colorful, abstract and very warm. The shawls are especially cozy to wear in the house on a cold New England Winter's day!

The flock at Windy Hamlet is raised according to organic standards. They receive no grain. They eat hay from organic sources, either our own hay (from organic fields) or purchased hay (also from organic fields). We practice rotational grazing and do not overgraze to prevent the build up of parasites.
