2018 Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest - Day Two

Ewe #129 Fleece - Flick Carded, Spun In The Grease, & Washed
Fleece Purchased Saturday - Sample Returned Sunday!
Wow - talk about fast turn around!  This Wild Rose Farm fleece was purchased on Saturday and the happy spinner returned on Sunday with this sample for me. See earlier posts for fleece pics. She said that she flick carded the wool, spun it in the grease - a first for her - and soaked it for 20 minutes to wash it. Just look at how fine it is!
I promised to pull the micron test for the fleeces that she bought, so that will be another day.

"Best Booth" ribbons are awarded to vendors who are judged anonymously for booth display, clear pricing & signage, and their ability to relate to customers. We had two great winners this year. Boone Hollow is a long time vendor with a great reputation for quality and The Crafty Alpaca is a first time vendor with a great selection and family/friends working together. Congratulations!
