Variety of sheep breeds, which is best for what?
Choosing and ‘skirting’ a fleece
Cleaning a Fleece
Fleece as a craft resource - (spinning/weaving/felting/knitting/crocheting
Fleece as insulation
Fleece as mulch.. and more! While it may be warm out, this is the perfect time of year to come and sink your hands into a raw fleece and try your hand at skirting, cleaning and perhaps a bit of felting…
