I don't spin, but I'm betting many of you do. So, here is a list of area wool producers.
I'd like to thank the folks at Richert Ranch for tracking down the information and sharing it with the Fort Wayne Flax and Fleecers Spinning Guild and me.
Here it is, by breed of sheep, although some breeders offer more than one type. Most farms also offer other products for sale, like sheep pelts or sheep milk soap.
