Busy, busy, busy! We finally got around to posting our fleece for sale ad on a couple of fibre specific lists, and have sold 5 fleeces in the last hour.

This is really unbelieveable. All the farmers around here told us "You can't sell fleece - there's no market for wool!". They've been composting their fleeces after shearing!

This is perfectly good wool, too. The staple length is reasonable (3 or four inches) and ther's some nifty colorations. I can't believe folks were throwing them away before they even tried to sell them! Oh well. Looks like Hammerstead Farms will make a bit of money this month after all!
