The Fiber Challange

Every spinning wheel and spindle are welcome

 

The Fleece Challenge...

 

In 2001, a challenge to the Itinerant Spinners was put forth: to prepare and spin wool from the fleece. The fleece was purchased by Karen Walter at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival at the Howard County Fairgrounds.

After an exhausting search, the right fleece was found: Bert. Bert is a Division I Natural Colored Rambouillet cross in Class A: Fine and submitted to the Festival by Chris Stutz. There was 14 pounds of Bert that was purchased at $4 per pound. The results are still coming in...
