As spinners, knitters, and weavers know, the
characteristics
of fleece -- its structure, grease content, and fiber
diameter -- vary widely depending on the breed of sheep
the
fleece comes from. These factors are crucial when you're
deciding how to spin your fleece and use your finished
yarn.
In this comprehensive reference, Beth Smith presents a
thorough overview of 21 sheep breeds, including each
breed's
characteristics and history, a photo of the animal and its
locks, the best methods for washing its fleece, and
specific
techniques for preparing, spinning, and finishing the
fleece. You'll discover how to select the fleece that is
best for your project and how to spin exactly the yarn you
need.
