Fleece to Finish is Back Y'all! With TWO fleece options!
This years Fleece to Finish features my local fiber farm, Elke, with a Jacob fleece and a Tunis fleece! Both are primitive breeds meaning their wools have changed very little over the years they've been domesticated. You are welcome to take both classes and make your own Jacob/Tunis Blend!
You will be receiving about 10oz of raw fleece to process. Soap and buckets will be provided. We will be out on the back porch for the whole day. Expecting ~30-40% weight shrinkage once the lanolin and detritus have been cleaned out.
Once the fleeces are cleaned and dried, we'll run it through the drum carder and then you're set to start spinning!
If you are unable to make two days, we can prioritize and get your fleece carded by end of day Saturday!
Feel free to ask any questions about the process! It's a fun experience and great intro to fleece processing!
Review from last year, "this feels like an old Appalachian Summer. Sitting on the back porch, sharing stories and cleaving a fleece"
