Orange Pansy earned her name with a personality as bold and bright as her namesake flower — she has absolutely no hesitation about marching up to the fence to investigate whatever you're doing. Her first fleece is a gorgeous lamb clip: exceptionally fine, soft, and with that characteristic first-shearing brightness that spinners love. At 2.9 lbs, it's a perfect amount for a special small project or to blend with other fibers.
Each fleece has been skirted in the grease and is ready for washing with your favorite wool scour. After a good wash, comb or card into batts or roving for beautiful 100% natural, undyed Targhee spinning fiber. Targhee is prized for its fine, uniform crimp, excellent staple length, and soft hand — ideal for next-to-skin garments, fine lace, or any project where loft and warmth matter.
About Amiable Acres: Amiable Acres is a small family farm raising registered Targhee sheep in the Pacific Northwest. Their flock roams lush wooded pastures through all four seasons — you can see that Pacific Northwest sky and towering pines in the background of nearly every farm photo. Lambing season at Amiable Acres is a hands-on, joyful affair: ewes are attentive mothers, lambs are tagged and monitored from day one, and the whole flock shares the same relaxed, curious temperament that Targhees are known for. These fleeces were shorn in 2026 and come directly from the farm.
