Fleece Study
For years Mom and I worked to figure out what breeds of Sheep and Goats we wanted. That lead to us maintaining a rather large fiber notebook. Here are the pages we use so feel free to print them off and join in the fun of spinning all fibers.

After our sheets are complete we laminate them so that we can take the notebook with us anywhere ... Even the barn ... Without fear of it getting ruined.
Below is the list we are working on. If you know of anything we left off (besides crossbreds) please drop us a line and we will be happy to get it on here. Also If you have a link to any of the following breed sample that are for sale let us know and we will be happy to post them. Samples need to consist of at least 1 Oz. of raw fleece.
