Suffolk Fleece Doesn't Suck

Busy, busy, busy! We finally got around to posting our fleece for sale ad on a couple of fibre specific lists, and have sold 5 fleeces in the last hour.

This is really unbelieveable. All the farmers around here told us "You can't sell fleece - there's no market for wool!". They've been composting their fleeces after shearing!

This is perfectly good wool, too. The staple length is reasonable (3 or four inches) and ther's some nifty colorations. I can't believe folks were throwing them away before they even tried to sell them! Oh well. Looks like Hammerstead Farms will make a bit of money this month after all!

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
