2026 Fleece Auction Starts Sunday, September 13th at 6 pm Eastern Standard Time
The fleeces are up on the website ready for you to preview for the next week.
Auction will be set to conclude on Sunday, September 20th at 6 pm Eastern Standard Time.
I am using a new auction service, so it will look different from prior years
NEW THIS YEAR:
Auction end time is 6 pm BUT if there is still bidding on a fleece it will stay open until the last bid endures for 2 minutes with no additional bidding on that fleece. After 2 minutes with no new bids, that fleece auction will close and the fleece will be sold.
Also new - you can put your maximum bid (private) on a listing and the auction will automatically bid for you.
Also new - I made a 2026 Fleece Auction Catalog for you to download and print so you can see all the data at one time. Let me know if this helps!

Return Policy
Superfine fleeces aren’t for everyone, and I want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If you decide your fleece isn’t the right fit, I’m happy to take it back and issue a refund. You’ll just be responsible for the return shipping.
Please note that I can only accept returns of fleeces that are still in their original, unwashed state. If you’re unsure about a fleece, I suggest washing and sampling a small portion first. That way, you can work with it before making your decision. If you find it’s not quite what you hoped for, just contact me and we’ll move forward with returning and refunding the unwashed remainder.
