Folks
There's been some discussion on Ravelry about spinning and spinners at the Smallholder Show.
The suggestion has been made that sheep-keepers (and by extension, goat, alpaca and llama-keepers) could be encouraged to bring fleeces along for spinners to buy.
I have mixed feelings about the idea - I'm forever being told that only a spinner knows how to present a fleece for sale to a spinner (skirting, removing vegetable matter, etc) and hearing about sheep-keepers p**d off because spinners don't want their fleeces, even when they're offered for free.
What do people think?
Please head over to this topic under Crafts (http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=26580.0) to contribute to the conversation, I am locking this topic here so that all discussion happens in that one place.
