Michigan Merinos proudly carries fiber products created at Happy Goat Lucky Ewe Fiber Farm.

We established in 1987, as Happy Goat Lucky Ewe Fiber Farm (a hobby farm) and in 2017 as Michigan Merinos (a working farm). We grow the wool (and mohair in our handspun yarn, from our Angora goats) in the products that we sell, and carry other U.S. made products such as Serendipity knitting needles. As a MAEAP-certified farm, we utilize state-certified, ecologically-friendly farming practices to provide you with biodegradable/low carbon impact fiber products, which are grown locally in Michigan and enjoyed globally.

👍The 2026 natural color batch of merino yarn is beautiful! It’s a multi-toned brown (we threw six natural color fleeces together). And we have three weights of white merino for you discerning knitters. A lovely bulky, and two types of worsted skeins. The 156 yard skein is perfect for the one-quick-project weekend. Then, for you sweater makers we’ve dyed batches of 6 skeins together. Each is 236 yards, 3.9 ounces and 3-ply worsted. Four with make a beautiful top town raglan sweater. If you’re adding in cables, get an extra skein to be safe!

By the way, thank you for supporting the farm each year we add to the infrastructure. Your purchases help us improve the farm by making our practices more eco-friendly and sustainable. This spring we will be frost seeding the pastures. The sheep bought handling and lambing equipment. If you visit in May, you’ll see the equipment at work.

In 2025 we plastered and insulated the wool shed, and this coming summer we will get the ceiling and wood burning stove in. So the November open house and December Holiday sales will be a little more welcoming.

  • We shear this year on March 28, 2026. Of 400 pounds 250 pounds is spoken for. If you’re interested your own fleece (from sheep to shawl) of merino wool let us know before March 15. After April 28th it’s off to the mill.

  • If you want to improve the fiber in your commercial flock (and get a higher price per pound), think about buying one of our yearling rams. Please plan ahead and contact me to put a deposit down.

  • On May 15 the Angora goat does and the ewes will enter labor and delivery. Over the following six weeks we expect 7 does and 24 ewes to bring some delightful babies into our world. .

    For 2026:

  • 👍 Look for us in Traverse City at the Fresh Coast Fiber show. It is new this year and the vendors who used to be in Petoskey will now be in Traverse City.

  • We are selling at the Michigan Farm Market Association annual Farm Market on the Capitol Lawn the 4th Tuesdays of July, August and September. This is an awesome market, come get your winter wear early. Check out the vendors, such as Along the Fence Day Lilies and Sweetie Licious .

  • 👍 We are also selling at the St. John’s Mint Festival in early August. Who knew so many people would buy (or order custom dyed) wool hats in August? Thanks again to all who supported the farm. Summer sales help us buy 900 bales of hay. .

  • 👍We just finished selling at the Detroit Eastern Market. Thanks everyone for supporting the farm with your purchases. We are at the Detroit Eastern Market on Saturdays October through early February every year. .

Cheers and here's to a healthy and happy 2026!

Hi Bridget,
I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the wool hat you suggested for me. It is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to help me choose the right color - I love this shade. It reminds me of a plum/eggplant w/brown undertones. Beautiful color that’s complexion-friendly. Also, my skin is thin and it does not itch.

Also, thank you for taking the time to include your handwritten note. You are an impressive person!

Warm regards,
— Catherine Dubis
