About Rainbow Fleece Farm
Located in the limestone hills of south-central Wisconsin, Rainbow Fleece Farm has operated since 1978 as a fiber processing mill specializing in converting raw fleece into ready-to-spin roving. The mill features vintage equipment including a 1915 Saco-Lowell high production carder and a commercial picker with blower, producing what they describe as fibers with a flair. Currently, the facility focuses exclusively on in-house carding services for fine wools from Merino, CVM, Romadale, Leicester, and Blue Face Leicester sheep breeds. The operation is managed by Patty Reedy and welcomes inquiries from fiber farmers and hand spinners seeking small-batch processing.
