I use the fiber which is humanely sheared by myself and my husband to make various things. I have English long wool sheep (mostly Cotswold), angora Goats(mohair), and an alpaca. I process all of fiber by skirting, washing and further processing it. I use a drum carder or combs to get it ready in batts or roving. Sometimes I dye it, other times I love the natural colors. I then wet felt, needle felt or spin it into something usable. I make Christmas ornaments, miniature sheep with locks and alpaca fiber, wall hangings, gloves, cowls and scarves etc. sometimes I blend my wool with other breeds’ wool to make cat caves and table runners.
