I second Friends Folly, They're in Monmouth Maine (about 30 minutes from me) http://www.friendsfollyfarm.com/ I really like them and they have fantastic top for sale too! I think you need to come over and we'll take a trip. Or if you make it to a festival they're usually there and you can do the boring thing and drop off your fleece.<BR/><BR/>I like to spin all kinds and colors of fleece so I might be the wrong person to ask. I have several fleeces waiting for me at Fiber Frolic in 3 weeks that i'll be processing myself. Although if I get any more than that, I might be taking a trip to Friends Folly myself.Amy Boogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245006719776539073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218219.post-45160176468419369992007-05-21T22:19:00.000-05:002007-05-21T22:19:00.000-05:00OH.

All other pairs have been made out of worsted weight (which I prefer!). And, handwashing doesn't matter in our house. Warmth is what does. So, I would definitely be a fan of heavier yarn!<BR/><BR/>As far as mills, there were a few at the Sheep & Wool. Did you pick up a directory while you were there? I'm sure they were listed.<BR/><BR/>I love reading about your farm endeavor!NH Knitting Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750054803211058322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218219.post-18007837594030735192007-05-21T14:28:00.000-05:002007-05-21T14:28:00.000-05:00For some reason, I thought your email said 13 POUN...For some reason, I thought your email said 13 POUNDS of wool rather than 13 fleeces. That much fiber does increase your buying power, so if I sounded a bit dismissive, forgive me!<BR/><BR/>I had some plans to do up a ragg wool by doing one strand dark and one light. I think this would look great natural over overdyed. However, all I have is Romney cross as well, and while it's a great fiber, esp. for socks, I was looking for something a bit better for next-to-skin wear.<BR/><BR/>Haven't found anything yet.<BR/><BR/>Love the sheepy pictures.:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218219.post-12350247651990508642007-05-21T13:00:00.000-05:002007-05-21T13:00:00.000-05:00whoa! sheeps a'hoy!!!!!!

They're a great Mill and do a wonderful job. A lot of People like Still River Mill too, but I know they're not cheap. <BR/><BR/>Also, there's the old standby, Bartlett Yarns (up in harmony, Maine). The Rices just bought it and are making some great changes. I think the quality of the yarns coming out of there will improve greatly.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883634982248064723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218219.post-85468201762828391392007-05-21T08:29:00.000-05:002007-05-21T08:29:00.000-05:00Oh I think its a sign... another Cocoa??!! :)Sock...Oh I think its a sign... another Cocoa??!! :)<BR/>Socks...
