the ewes have been in the barn all night
waiting for the shearer
blankets are removed to reveal this year’s crop
the harvest begins!
fresh shorn fleeces are quickly skirted
a day or two later the fleeces are skirted a second time
staple length and fleece quality is recorded
the wool is now ready to ship to hand spinners or to the mill for processing into rovings and yarn.
