We’re taking the farm on the road this fall!

Compass Rose Wool Mill is heading out for three wonderful fiber gatherings over the next several weeks

October 2–4 — Pacific Northwest Fiber Arts Expo, Port Angeles
October 10 — Quilcene Fiber Festival, Worthington Park
October 31–November 1 — Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival, Albany

We’ll be bringing wool from the farm and Mill, including roving, rug yarn and other wool products—and our new 100% Icelandic worsted yarns, just back from Rabbit Hill

Come find us, say hello, squish some wool, and see what we’ve been making.

Three gatherings, a whole lot of wool, and hopefully enough room in the truck.

First stop: Port Angeles - PACIFIC NORTHWEST FIBER ARTS EXPO

We’re packing up and heading to the Pacific Northwest Fiber Arts Expo, October 2–4.

We’ll have wool and fiber products from the farm and Mill with us, including our new 100% Icelandic worsted yarns.

If you’re coming to the Expo, please come find our booth and say hello. We love getting to meet the people who spin, weave, knit, felt and otherwise find good uses for all this wool.

Join us May 16th for our second fiber workshop of the Mythic Fiber series

Our journey continues along the river, with prepared fiber in our baskets. Now we need a vessel—a bowl or hollow filled with stories, a place to hold our tools. Using only the river and washing stone, we transform soft, clean wool into a sturdy felted vessel with water, pressure, and the stories we carry.

Join us for our sheep shearing workshop this March 9th!

Each Spring, our flock is shorn releasing the sheep from their winter coats. After each fleece is shorn, it is placed on a table to be sorted. The dirty bits are removed, it gets rolled up and put in a cloth bag to go to the mill to be washed, picked and carded into roving for hand spinners to make into yarn.

This is a fun gathering to celebrate our years wool harvest, give the community the opportunity to help catch sheep, sort wool, and get an up close look at the whole process!

If you would like to join us March 9th at 9am please contact us, we would love to share this unique experience with you.

Meet the flock!

The Compass Rose flock has been stewarding this land since 2007, cultivating the fields and forests they live on.

Icelandic sheep are a hardy breed brought to Iceland from Norway in the 9th century. They belong to the northern European short tail breed and are considered one of the oldest breeds in the world. They have a great deal of genetic diversity; both ewes and rams can have horns, and have many patterns and colors.

Icelandic sheep are a duel coated breed, meaning that they have two fibers growing together, one long and strong called tog and the other short and fine called thell. The fineness of the thell is as soft as merino and the tog is strong enough to warp a loom. These animals supported our northern ancestors giving them meat, milk, leather and warm clothing. The woven cloth from Iceland was so valuable that it became a form of currency, three yards was equal to an ounce of silver.
