Fiber Arts at MacGregor Hollow

I use my mohair as the base for all of my fiber arts.
Roving: Many rovings are now processed here at the farm with my Pat Green Exotica Cottage Carder, some are carded by a local mill.
Mohair Fleeces: Grown by my goats, these fleeces are beautiful. Many are washed and ready for your projects.
Handspun and Millspun Yarn: All of my yarns are "Farm Yarn." They are made with my mohair as the base and may have wool or other fibers from local farms blended in. These yarns are precious and unique. They are either handspun by me or custom spun for me by small cottage mills, most right here in Michigan. Like fine wine, my yarns are limited in production and vary some from year to year.
