For those who have fiber animals, here is an opportunity for you to participate in an event. Many of our past fiber study groups have done a similar project. Each person in the group chose a sheep breed, did a study of that breed, collect the fleece to distribute to other members of the group. Then there was the spinning of each breed for our own workbook. It was a year long study with great results. We learned about different breeds, quality of their fleece and how it could be useful for our needs.
A link to the actual discussion is here: FLEECE TO FINISH
