The Woolroom at Longmeadow Farm

The Woolroom at Longmeadow Farm Longmeadow Farm is a western N.Y. farm that raises registered Romney Sheep and Natural Colored Long I look forward to serving you! “THANK YOU

Hi, my name is Sandy Long I reside in a small town called Freedom, with my husband Tom, a small flock of Romney and Natural Colored Longwool Sheep, and a few other farm animals and pets. Our sheep are coated and special care is taken to assure a great quality fleece.Freedom is located in Western New York. I seriously started working with and dying wool about 15 years ago. Due to the passion I had

and the positive encouragement I received, it became a full time business. I use fiber from my flock, as well as purchase ecru wool and wool blend yarns to hand dye. I try to satisfy all color preferences, but tend to do more in earth and jewel tones; which I love. The dying is done at the farm, mainly by myself, with an occasional family member or fiber friend lending a hand. I do several Fiber events a year, have a shop here at the farm and recently added an on line store. The things I offer for sale are natural and hand dyed yarn, fiber in roving, batts and dyed locks, home made soap and lotion bars, goat milk lotion. In closing I would like to say how thankful and blessed I feel to have the opportunity to work from home doing something that I love. With much support from family, friends and wonderful customers it is possible.

Now isn’t this something, another miracle of wool.

In a surprising twist for regenerative medicine, the secret to healing broken bones might be found in your sweater. 🐑🦴
Scientists at King’s College London have successfully developed a bone-healing material made entirely from sheep wool. The breakthrough centers on keratin, the structural protein in wool, hair, and nails, which was used to create a scaffold that tricks the body into rebuilding bone tissue.
In recent animal and laboratory trials, this wool-derived material didn't just support bone growth; it produced tissue that more closely resembled healthy, natural bone than any current synthetic or collagen-based alternative. Because wool is naturally renewable and often discarded as waste by the farming industry, this provides a cheap, sustainable, and high-performance source for future medical implants and surgeries.
The most mind-blowing part? The body gradually absorbs the wool scaffold as the real bone takes its place, leaving no foreign hardware behind. This discovery marks a massive leap for orthopedic surgery, offering a future where complex fractures can be "knit" back together using the same biological building blocks as a sheep's coat.
