Hi, you mentioned a while ago that you have a load of fleeces. As a spinner, I was wondering do you have any that you might sell? what condition are they in, how have you stored them, etc.
we have about nine ShetlandxRyeland fleeces to sell in various colours (see photo at the top of ’sheep’ page). They are currently stored in a woolsack in Tony’s workshop & are in excellent condition, having been packed away since the day on which they were sheared.
They are such lovely, soft wool; & we’d far rather see them go to a good home where they’ll be treated well & turned into beautiful things than end up as loft insulation or whatever!
Incidentally, any advice on improved storage methods would be gratefully received; although the Wool Marketing Board seemed happy they’d be fine to include with next year’s crop if we needed to, if continually stored under their current conditions.
