So many breeds of sheep (and other livestock too) seem to fall out of favor with the mills or the farmers. It happens for many reasons and most of them are financial. But these old breeds are the foundation of the modern day flocks that we have and so they are extremely important to protect. And the wool is good too. This class will explore a few of the sheep on the endangered breeds lists in both the US and in Great Britain. We will hold them and work with them and explore how valuable they truly are.
All of the breeds will be from fleece. In class we will card, comb and flick the fibers and see what kinds of yarns they want to be. Some hand tools will be available in class to share but if you have your own, please bring them along with a spinning wheel in good working order or a spindle.
