Friends, hello! This website is a work in progress :) Have a quick look around! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to Corduroy Valley!

Welcome!

Are you looking for Icelandic wool? We have it! Lamb wool, regular wool, small orders, whole fleeces, and a choice of colors are all available.

I'm Emily. My sister Kaity and I are raising beautiful Icelandic sheep in Central Illinois. The name Corduroy Valley is chosen for the beautiful crop fields around our homes.

You can see the sheep and where they live in many videos here: www.youtube.com/@emilygiesel5564

Because we like making things, we dreamed of setting up a little farm shop at the corner between our homes. I decided to open an online shop. We hope to stock it with plenty of quality handmade things good for gifting and everyday life.

I'm so glad you're here :) I hope you will find something special.
