Kimmet Croft Fiber is a business based on a flock of 40 Merino sheep and a herd of German Angora rabbits. When I learned to knit in 1960, my grandmother taught me to use only natural fibers and would buy me the best wool yarns at her local Yarn Shop. In 1972 I fled to England to escape the chaotic life of a student at U of Wis, Madison. I lived in North Devon for a year on the edge of Exmoor surrounded by sheep. I decided then that I wanted to raise sheep and produce quality yarns. I am proud to offer knitters the softest, springiest yarns made from animals that are rotationally grazed for 6-7 months of the year and are on a constant level of nutrition. This means that the fiber is strong all the way through and does not break or pill.
