This hands-on workshop will guide participants through the full process of cleaning raw fleece, making it ready for use in fiber arts such as spinning, felting, or weaving. Each attendee will select a whole raw fleece—provided by Sparrow Lark Farm, a Kentucky farm specializing in Gotland and Gotland-cross sheep—and work through each stage of the cleaning process, including skirting, scouring, and drying.
All cleaning materials and tools will be provided and are included for participants to take home, allowing them to continue processing wool confidently on their own. This workshop is beginner-friendly and ideal for anyone interested in working with raw fleece or deepening their understanding of wool preparation.
