Title: New to TAS
Post by: Finnsheep on August 08, 2017, 02:38:31 pm
 :) hello
My husband and I live in Connecticut and have a tiny farm with a small flock of Finnsheep. We're in our second year. We love animals, love the work and have learned many things. We look forward to learning and sharing knowledge on TAS.

Hello and welcome from a spinner and sheep enthusiast :wave:

We're mostly Brits here but do have a number of active members from otherwhere in the world, whose contributions are always enlightening and interesting.

I've not spun Finnsheep, although I have some tops I've not yet used.  Am I right in recalling that there are two types of Finnsheep, one with a softer fleece than the other?

Hello from Scotland.  As another hand spinner, I will be interested to learn more about Finn sheep and their fleece plus some pics - we always like pics.  You could post the topic in 'sheep' or 'crafts'.  :thumbsup:   :spin:   :sheep:
