Welcome to Leaf Livestock Wool Co., a lamb, and wool farm, located in Northwest Illinois. Gordon and Anne Sammons raise beautiful Columbia, Rambouillet, Polypay and Natural Colored sheep.

Our NAILE, MWSRSS, and The Illinois State Fair award winning Natural Colored ewes (Rambouillet & Columbia seed stock) provide a range of shades of brown, gray, and tan wool. We harvest around 1,000 pounds of white and colored wool each year from our flock of 100+ ewes.

Our raw wool customers, from across the country, enjoy processing our fiber and felting it or spinning it into beautiful yarn creations. The remaining fiber is mill processed into the best combed top, roving, and mill spun yarn for our use and for others to enjoy. Please join us for our raw wool sale.

Hello! Our farm specializes in raising Shetland, Horned Dorset, and Jacob sheep. Also, we raise French Angora rabbits. I often times buy alpaca and wool from other local farmers for my customers. Our farm is unique because we have our own cottage-style fiber mill and I process most of the fiber that we sell. Thank you for your interest in our small farm.

All the fleeces I will be offering have been fully skirted and the alpaca has been tumbled to remove any extra dust or second cuts. I will be sharing the weight of each fleece, VM level, and showing a small washed wool sample so you can see the true color of the fleece without any lanolin.

Here are the offerings that I will have available at WAFA Raw Wool sale in September: Raw Shetland Fleeces $8/pound Raw Jacob Fleece $12/pound Raw Teeswater Fleece $30/pound Raw Wensleydale Fleece $30/pound Raw Huacaya Alpaca Fiber $6/pound Raw French Angora Fiber $6/ounce September 2020 Raw Wool Sale -WAFA-Pg 34
