Join us as we unravel the secrets of sheep and their extraordinary fleece! From luxurious softness to durable versatility, each sheep breed’s wool offers variations waiting to be explored. We’ll look at basic characteristics of wool fibers to see how differences in structure affect qualities such as texture, elasticity, and luster. You will work with several types of breed-specific wool, gaining practical experience in your woolcraft of choice (spinning, knitting, felting, crocheting, etc.). Whether you’re a seasoned fiber enthusiast or new to the world of wool, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore breed-specific wool.
