July 2nd & 3rd, 2016

Our 3rd Annual Sort-A-Thon follows the success of our first two events instructing fiber folks how to sort and grade their valuable fleece. Learn how to sort fleece by "like" fineness, length, and uniformity of grade and color. The various grades will be discussed as well as their uses.

This informative class teaches the fleece owner about the quality of their fiber, how to command the right price for sorted and graded fleece and offers an opportunity to sell fleece from buyers that place orders before this class date.

Space is limited to 22 participants and sold out last year. Don't delay in registering for this class.
