How many fleeces can you pile on a full-sized bed?
42 fleeces, weighing about 101 lbs.
This is the bed in my studio and the thought of sorting through the fleeces was a little overwhelming, but it HAD to be done!
I headed out last night to decide what fleeces were for sale, what fleeces I wanted to have processed, and what fleeces I wanted to keep for myself. Zeilinger Wool is having their annual processing special through the end of January and I would like to take advantage of the 23% off discount.
I have never weighed all of the fleeces at once and it was interesting. The average weight was 2 lbs. 4 oz. after being skirted. I also have 8 lbs. of britch wool that I am going to have processed for felting projects.
Here are some of the fleeces I have for sale…
Canby
Bronwen
Emeline
More fleeces and pictures can be seen on our Fleeces for sale page on our website and they can be purchased through our LocalHarvest site.
Stories from the Farm 
Canby’s is lovely and it looks as if it’s holding it’s color well. Pretty fleeces!
I don’t know how you do it. I would take me a YEAR to get through that many fleeces!
Michelle, I DO take a year to get through that many! 😀
Beautiful fleeces, Shannon. Lovely, each and every one. I sure love Amber… So glad I’ve got some of her offspring. 🙂
Good grief… Nevermind the Amber comment… I get her and Bronwen confused at times. Then I go back and thoroughly read and … well… 😛 I love Bronwen too!! 😉
OK i know very little about fleeces except that i HAVE a couple in my store room. MANY YEARS ago i did spin but I do not have a wheel here. But even without a wheel i am loathe to turn my fleeces into duvets for the dogs. they just smell so good and you never know.. one day i will find a wheel.. c
