Super fine, super-fly, the Merino. While they’re a flocking good fiber, they aren’t the end-all fiber. You’ll get to handle fleeces, products and yarns from a variety of sheep breeds. Let’s also talk about superwash versus the natural fiber. Come learn, touch and feel about some wooly cool sheep breeds to make your next project out of (Cheviot, Shetland, Leicester Longwool, Jacob, California Red, BFL, Dorset, Romney, and Targhee to name a few).

Note: All classrooms are on the Dixon May Fairgrounds, 655 S 1st St, Dixon, CA, and students will get free admission on the day of their workshop(s).

Melinda Wamsley is the owner/shearer of Boss Mare Shearing and flock manager of The Ross Farms flock of 140+ sheep with home base in Washington County, Pennsylvania. With a degree in Ruminant Production and Management from The Ohio State University she has taken her knowledge into her adventures while shearing. She enjoys doing numerous educational demonstrations at notable festivals like Maryland Sheep & Wool, Fayette County Fiber Festival, Central Pennsylvania Fiber Festival and her “Celtic Crossfit” at Scottish Highland Games. Since participating in Maryland Sheep Shearing School in 2020, she has traveled the east coast and beyond, shearing all breeds of sheep, goats, llama and alpaca. Her love of shearing has evolved to a love of all things fiber related and has made her life’s mission to teach about the sustainability and humane practices of wool products.
