Willow Glen Farm in Farm Life, Fiber, fleece, study, wool

Every day for the past week or two, I've had boxes of fleece delivered to the house. They're starting to take over! It's all for a great cause though: my "Are Ewe Well-Bred?" fleece study is alive and rolling!

So far, I have these fleeces in my house:

3 California Reds, 3 Shetlands, 2 Rambouillets, 2 Cheviots, 3 Gulf Coast Natives, 1 CVM, 1 Jacob, 2 Black Welsh Mountain Sheep, and about 15 more bags full of miscellaneous wool that I've acquired over the past few weeks from local farmers.

Where do I keep it all?

In the hall of my studio:

And in the basement:

(here, you can see the Jacob fleece)


(this is one of the Rambouillets spread out for inspection):

And in the studio kitchen (California Red that I'm cold soaking)

And in the studio (California Red drying)

Doesn't it look like a whole bunch of fun?!
