 Ruminations
of a Grumpy Shepherd
Ruminations of a Grumpy Shepherd recounts
Dick and Gretchen
Regnery's
experiences from over 20 years of raising sheep in Door County in
northeast Wisconsin. In their late 30's, they abandoned their urban
life to buy and rehabilitate an old dairy farm. Their flock of white
and naturally colored Corriedale sheep produces specialized wool for
use in handspinning. Along with insights on raising and caring for
sheep and producing quality wool, the book introduces many of the
individual members of the flock. Certain flock members also contribute
their own essays in order to assure that a "balanced" perspective is
maintained. Join us for tales ranging from trolls and phobias to
artificial insemination to a journey to the end of the earth.

Yarn
The
fleeces that we sell for hand spinning is the wool under
the jackets that our Corriedale sheep wear year around. In addition to
that wool, each sheep has wool that cannot be covered by the jackets,
but which is still quite suitable for spinning. We save this
wool and have it professionally washed, carded and spun for us. We call
this "mill-spun" yarn. In addition we occasionally produce yarn which
is
hand-spun by Gretchen.
Our yarn
is spun for
us at Blackberry Ridge
Woolen Mill in Mount
Horeb,
Wisconsin. All
of the yarn is sport weight
and comes in skeins of approximately 4 ounces each. There are about 350
yards in a 4 ounce skein. For our
undyed, "mill-spun" yarn, we weigh each skein and price it
individually.
The
cost is $3.00/ounce for our natural colors and white which is
about $12.00/skein.
The naturally dyed yarns are all
priced at $25.00/skein, regardless
of exact weight.
We usually have our Corriedale "mill-spun" yarn available in four
natural colors
and white. We also have naturally dyed yarn in a mutlitude of colors.
Gretchen dyes the yarn using plants, mushrooms, and other naturally
occuring dye materials.
 The five
natural colors currently available
are shown below. (Keep in mind that the colors shown on your monitor
will not exactly match the yarn colors in real life.)
1. Chocolate Chip
Brown
2. Milk Chocolate Brown
3. Dark Gray
4. Light Gray
5. White
Please note that each batch of "mill-spun"
yarn can be slightly different from the next in terms of shade. We
provide an identifying number for each batch sold if you need to
purchase
additional amounts of the exact same yarn.
Naturally dyed yarn is available only at
the
Art Gallery in season and by
appointment at the farm in the off season.
To whet your appetite here is a picture of some of the dyed yarns.
 When
the Art Gallery is open
from mid-May through mid-October both mill-spun and hand-spun yarns are
offered for sale in the Art Gallery. Our wonderful Corriedale
"mill-spun" yarn is also available
year around. It can be ordered directly from us and shipped to you. In
season you can visit the Art Gallery and select yarn directly.
Additionally, you can call us out of season
at
920-743-1560 to
make an appointment to see and choose your yarn.
To receive a sample of the white and four naturally colored yarns, send
a $5.00
check made out to
"Whitefish Bay Farm", to 3831
Clark Lake
Road, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235. (We

Roving
Roving is
usually available in four natural colors and white. We sell roving by
the ball, as it comes to us from our wool processor, Blackberry Ridge
Woolen Mill. Roving
balls may weigh anywhere from 2 to 4 ounces in size. We will try to get
as close as possible to the number of ounces that you are requesting.
Not all colors may be available at all times.
Our roving is priced at two levels. The higher priced roving is made
from the individual fleece of a jacketted sheep. The lower priced
roving is made as a blend of fleeces from several sheep and may include
wool that was not under a jacket. The two costs are $4.00/ounce or
$3.00/ounce.
Currently we have the following colors available:
1. Chocolate
Chip
Brown - $4/oz
2. Milk Chocolate Brown - $4/oz
3. Dark Gray - $3/oz
4. Light Gray - $3/oz
5. White - $3/oz
Please note: Your total cost will also include a charge for shipping
and handling, plus sales tax, if you are a Wisconsin resident. You will
receive an itemized receipt and your credit card receipt with your
shipment.
