were done on a mini-mills felting machine. Yes it had marks when it
initially came off of the machine - but they were completely gone once
the wool totally dried and relaxed. Neither piece I have has retained

Wool: Can You Add It To Your Profit Line? Workshop sponsored by New
Hampshire Sheep and Wool Growers, hosted by long-time Shetland
shepherdess Nadine Chounet at Painted Knoll Farm, nestled in the Lakes
Region of NH. Day-long workshop will cover tips leading up to shearing
to get your best
and assessing in various knitting situations.
I was actually asked to stop crocheting in a meeting once! This was a
supposedly low-key, informal, wear jeans and a t-shirt out-of-office
meeting to iron out some differences among the staff. We had a hired
mediator present! The mediator asked m
eds of sheep to make
them more convenient for commercial purposes. They can be sheared
whenever suits the industry, rather than, as my sheep, when the sheep
is ready!
