SUMMARY:Sheep School: Fleece Selection\, Scouring and Troubleshooting - Lambtown 2026
DESCRIPTION:Ever gone to a fiber festival\, somehow blacked out and found a fleece in your car when you got home? Have you wondered a fleece show and seen an inexpensive fleece and thought “It’s so cheap! I could totally process that myself!” only to shove it in the garage because it was a daunting task and you lost your nerve? Join us as we discuss the what\, where and how of fleece selection\, and then practice scouring wool together. We will visit the wool show and the sheep barn\, and have fun discussing methods for scouring and getting confident with the process of removing lanolin without accidentally creating felt. Students are encouraged to bring samples of fleeces in their collections to discuss with the class. Have a problem fleece you’re trying to save? Maybe we can help! Just need someone to ooo and aaaah over it so you get motivated again? We can do that too! \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nOutdoor Classroom \n\n\n\nNote: All classrooms are on the Dixon May Fairgrounds\, 655 S 1st St\, Dixon\, CA\, and students will get free admission on the day of their workshop(s). \n\n\n\nExperience Level\n\n\n\nNo Experience Necessary \n\n\n\nMaterials instructor will supply for students\n\n\n\nHandout\, 4oz raw fleece \n\n\n\nStudents need to bring\n\n\n\nPlease wear old clothes – something you don’t mind getting wet or dirty. Students are encouraged to bring samples of fleece from their collection to discuss with the class
