Fleece Sellers

Fleece Sellers display their fleeces in the Guild Hall or Back room on meeting days (first Saturday in the month) before our business meeting. They usually make several visits each year to the Guild, based on their sheering times. If you would like to sell fleece regularly at the Guild, please contact us with details about what sorts of fleeces and other spinning products you can supply. Our spinners are interested in wool, alpaca, mohair and other fibres for spinning. Handspinners usually require a long staple. They are also interested in dyed fibres of all sorts, and other craft supplies. 2012 Calendar of Fleece Sellers: March 2012: Margie Killick Margie has a wide range of wool types, from fine through medium to stronger, and a range of sheep breeds and cross-breeds.
