So I have a good friend who has a neighbor who has three Romney sheep. They are getting shared today. I need to find a way to get out there and back up the wool, and then I will have to clean it and process it and dye it.
I’m talking to Catalyst about teaching workshops in Wool preparation, like the one I took at the Trailing of the Sheep Festival a couple years ago. I also was promised some local Llama wool sometime this summer. The person who owns the llama says he usually throws away a drum full when he has the shearing done. What a waste!
Not only are these sources local, but they are from creatures who I know are treated ethically, because the 3 sheep and the Llama are pets who I am sure are spoiled. Gizmo was like that.
