| Sheila
carefully chooses Appalachian fleeces for their softness. The
fleece is then scoured and left to air dry. After hand-picking
the fleece, it is carded and hand-spun into soft yarn. The yarn
is then washed again to "set the twist" and allowed
to dry. The fleece is now ready to knit, crochet or weave into
garments, hats, and other durable items. Sheila sells the fleece
as well as hats, mittens, scarves and custom items. The natural
fleece is wonderful for people who can not usually wear wool
items. |
