Here is a photo of one of our ram fleeces. It was a nice, tight fleece that really held together well. It's been pretty heavily skirted.We ended up with 25 pounds (11kg) of heavily skirted fleece and are planning to have it scoured and carded into rovings at Morning Star Fiber in Holmes County, Ohio. I've been gradually teaching myself to shear for the last three years and finally got some instruction from a neighbor last summer with another neighbor's flock and again this fall with my sheep. This is the first time we've ended up with usable fleeces.
The second photo shows the bags of wool with our other ram's fleece on top - plus a good shot of my shadow.
