Welcome to DUCK FLATS FARM! Many of you might
remember us as DUCK FLATS FARM and ThunderHoof Stables from our many years in
Delaware Township. After a 12-year stint
in upstate New York, we have returned to our home county. Our new farm location
is a 34-acre 18th century working farm nestled in the shadow of the
Hunterdon Highlands, Round Mountain, and Cherryville Mountain in Raritan Township,
Hunterdon County. We still have our beloved Finnish Landrace (Finn) sheep and
other fiber animals. The Finn and Finn-cross sheep are known for their
soft wool that is strong but light in weight, so that you have the warmth of
the wool without the heavy weight. It is wonderful for all types of garments, even
for baby clothes due to its softness. We also have Alpacas, plus Angora and
Cashgora goats. We sell roving for hand spinnings for knittng, crochet, and crewing.
For hand spinning and Australian Locker Hocking, hand-spun and mill-spun yarn.
Needlework supplies are also available. Private and group lessons are available to
learn how to master these techniques.
The Fiber Studio is always
open by appointment, and at 4 specific times of the year when we hold our 2-day
Open House:
Autumn
Welcome to the new Lower Fiber Studio and our Fiber Wall. This section of the Fiber Studio will showcase yarns specifically for weaving, and for knitting looms and knitting machines.
