Name
Breed Specific Fiber From Beloved Flocks with Tammy from Wing & A Prayer Farm
Description

Celebrate diversity in fiber art through getting to know the real producers!  Just like there is more than one kind of heirloom tomato, or vintage wine, or type of bread to purchase from the bakery, and so on, there is more than one type of sheep. Learn about the 10 different breeds of sheep, the two breeds of goats and the alpacas on Wing & A Prayer Farm & have a wonderful time meeting up with the animals and learning about the diversity amongst the farm animals and how we put the fibers together to make the best yarns for varied uses.  You will increase your appreciation of these gentle creatures and their gifts to fiber arts and sustainable fashion.
