About
Situated in the Welsh borders we are a small upland farm just outside Hay-on-Wye.
We specialise in Shetland sheep and are pleased to be able to offer you some of the softest yarn around.
We hope you enjoy your visit to us....
The Yarn
All the sheep at Sheared Treasure have been busy eating, playing with
their friends, and laying in the sunshine, to produce the best fleece
they possibly can. We gently shear them by hand and on the rise to ensure the fleece is removed at the narrowest part in the length of each staple. This makes the spun yarn as soft and as strong as possible. Once shorn the fleeces are hand spun here on the farm or sent for processing to a small family mill also in Wales. We then either sell the yarn in its natural colours or hand dye it ourselves.
Unveil the epitome of luxury with our exquisite Shetland Sheep wool, meticulously hand-sheared from our idyllic flock.
Feel the unparalleled softness and embrace the authentic beauty of our natural colours, crafted with utmost care and devotion.

The Sheep
As all our sheep live long, healthy lives we have no need to breed every year which further enhances the quality of the fleeces from the ewes. We pride ourselves on our welfare standards and each sheep is treated as an individual.
The flock, both ewes and wethers, graze on luscious grass all the year round and we top this up during the winter months with our own homemade hay and a little sheep cake to make sure they are getting all the vitamins and minerals they need to be happy, healthy sheep. If the weather is very cold, wet or snowy the sheep come into a cosy barn with a deep straw bed.
