It’s spring and shearing season!
You have an eye on a fleece, you buy it, and now what? Bring your fleece to see how it’s done. Come join the Southeast New Hampshire Spinning Guild for this free education day. Learn how to “skirt” your fleece. See a demonstration and then if you would like, get one-on-one help skirting your own fleece.
