Rosey’s Wool
Rosey’s Wool is a shoppe located in Michigan and is now selling products online. We started raising sheep in 1987 with a set of Corriedale twins – Lemon and Lavender. The next year we added a Romney ram. The first lamb born in 1990 was Rosey, part Corriedale and part Romney breed.

Shipping
2025 has brought many changes to shopping and shipping systems. Due to fluctuations and changes in postal rates- Rosey’s wool can no longer offer free shipping. Orders will have one flat rate shipping charge with USPS priority mail providing tracking and insured service.
Knitting and Accessory Availability
Changes in supply chain have made it more difficult to purchase knitting and crochet accessories. Thishas become a challenge to find stores that carry supplies. Rosey’s Wool will now have wooden and bamboo (some olive wood) knitting needles available in: Double point (DP), Single point (SP), and Circular Knitting needles – various sizes and lengths. Other items such as stitch holders and stitch rings are available.
Due to some spam issues, If you do not hear a response to inquiries, please call 517-879-8672 or send a separate email message to sandrich@voyager.net. My apologies if some messages have not been returned. I truly wish all people were honest!
MERINO WOOL (millspun / 2 ply / sock weight SW) yarn in a variety of yardage, weights and methods. This wool is from organically raised and pastured Michigan 100% merino sheep in the natural color. Dyed wool skeins will be added this year.
*Remember that wool coming from other countries may be less expensive but may also contain dyes and mordants that may be harmful, chemicals or gaseous exposure and sheep wools may not be sorted to have the best quality for clothing. Know the products you are buying!
Friends and Fiber Enthusiasts
Rosey’s Wool is relocated and open for business at: 780 Oakridge Drive, Jackson, MI 49203. While Rosey’s Wool is no longer located on the farm, there is plenty of available wool, yarn, supplies, knit and felted products, and more.
I now have studio space for those that are interested in learning to knit, spin, needle felting, work with dyes, or just want to come in and use the equipment (ball winding, wet felting, etc.). If interested, call to schedule a time (517) 879-8672. Starting in September, (the last Thursday of every month) will be project day/times. This might include dyeing, making dryer balls, ornaments or other felted projects and felted backgrounds. Call if interested to reserve a space.
Over the years, a small flock of sheep of varied breeds including Romney, Corriedale, Merino and Cotswold rams and ewes were raised on the farm. The purebred Cotswolds were my favorite to raise, spin the silky wool to yarn, and make felted clothing. Cotswold sheep are a rare and endangered sheep and increasingly hard to find.
Purebred Corriedale and purebred Merino sheep (Greenfield Village breed strain) were continued with a commitment to raising organic sheep, free ranged, on rotated pasture.
After 35 years of raising sheep, they are being managed by younger generations of sheep herders in different locations, but, I am continuing to make wool products for the shoppe from those sheep.
The processing of wool is done at Zeilinger Wool Company, Frankenmuth. MI or Hoof to Hanger Woolen Mill in Bridgman, MI. The washable sheepkins are processed at Bucks County Furs in Pennsylvania.
