Butterfly Fibres

Butterfly Fibres, Shetland sheep in Langley, BC, are based in the Fraser Valley near Vancouver. Iberg and Marianne have raised Shetlands for more than a decade with a focus on breed standards and genetic health.

They maintain registry records and conduct regular screenings for common ovine health concerns, including footrot prevention and parasite monitoring. Their sheep graze on rotational pastures and enjoy daily handling to foster calm temperaments in both lambs and adults, and their fleeces are skirted and graded on site, reflecting the couple’s hands-on approach to wool quality. As a family-run farm, they emphasize sustainable practices rooted in respect for the land and the breed’s heritage.

Feedback from local fibre artists often highlights the uniform crimp and density of their fleece, which is well suited to craft projects. They also welcome small groups interested in sheep care and wool processing, offering hands-on demonstrations in a relaxed setting.
