Welcome to our Meadow Brook Farm wool products store. Our wool is from our flock of Clun Forest purebred sheep, free-range, grass-fed-raised on our farm here in Fauquier County Virginia just East of the Shenandoah National Park. The Clun Forest breed is classified as a rare breed with middle weight, cream colored wool that we shear each Spring.
After shearing each Spring, we skirt the raw fleece to retain only the best parts. It is then sent to a woolen mill where it's washed, carded, picked, and finally set within a muslin cover to produce a batting or produce roving. We then take the wool batting and insert it into a custom fleece cover that could have many different themes, based on our customer's order. The cover is cut, knotted at the edges, and hand tied for shape retention to produce the final product. A label shows that the batting is pure wool from our Virginia home farm.
The photo for this product shows a comforter with a Penn State University theme that can be used in a student dorm, as an excellent warmer for outdoor events (covers are available for many different universities), or as an Alumni gift. Because the edge is hand-tied, it is easy to remove to wash the cover when needed. The wool batting may not need to be washed but rather just fluffed in a dryer on a warm setting.
The wonderful properties of wool produce a comforter that provides excellent warmth retention while breathing through any moisture. Wool has been shown to have anti-bacterial and anti-microbial characteristics that make it less susceptible to dust mites and other problems that can develop in other bedding materials. It is long-lasting and results in a gift that will last for many years.
The size pictured is roughly 45” x 60”, but we can produce it in a larger, 45” x 72” size. We only use wool produced from the Clun Forest sheep on our own farm. Because of the size of our flock and shearing occurs only once per year, we have a limited production of the wool products we offer. Let us know if there is a particular university that interests you so we can check if that university-themed cover is available. It will online usually take 3 to 6 weeks to produce and ship.
1.45” x 72” comforter cost is $135.00 plus shipping
2.45” x 60” comforter cost is $120.00 plus shipping
