Sheep shearing day and wool talk with the shearer

 All about hand spinning yarn, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between. This episode is sheep shearing day!!! Our small flock of Shetland sheep get shorn after a year and there are plenty of videos to share. Plus our shearer is kind enough to take the time to talk about why sheep seem to settle into shearing so well, special characteristics of Shetland sheep, blade shearing sheep and more. A wonderful episode packed with great wool information plus beautiful fleeces ready for wool processing. Link to this Episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/cBWSu-2yDRMJoin Ewethful’s Patreon Communityhttps://www.patreon.com/EwethfulFiberMillFor details and to purchase the online course to learn to handspin on wheelhttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/pages/lets-make-yarn-landing-pageShop for Ewethful handspinning fibershttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collectionsFree hand spinning resourceshttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/pages/wool-educationShearer:Michael Estes can be found on Instagram as @michaeltheshepherd Our other shearer Correy McAtee wasn’t here this time but she can be found on Facebook as Custom Colored Critters Mission at Ewethful: My mission at Ewethful Fiber Mill is to fill making hands with small batch American grown yarns and fibers.
