Fall....2017....We have made the decision to stop helping with the
shearing of the Cotswold Sheep in Colorado. We have purchased the
fleece for the past 25+ years or so, used much and sold the rest, some in
white, some gray/brown tones, and much dyed. This year I will be 77..
(2019)... years old, and Carl is 80. I have had most major joints in my
body replaced due to West Nile. Both of us need to slow up some...and
this is one area that requires the most work, dealing with massive
amounts of water to clean, and dye these fleeces, plus the weight of the
wet wool. Yes, The Sheep Shed Studio will remain open and in business
as long as we can both stay healthy and keep moving. but some things
will have to stop, and dealing with the raw wool is one of them.
The folks we have bought the wool from in colorado...Doris was 86 this
year, and her Son Gary and his Wife hope to continue on with the sheep.
They will attempt to set up a website to sell grease wool direct to the
customers. I will post his phone number as soon as possible....he will be
having his sheep shorn, starting with lambs in the next couple of
weeks...and shearing the adult sheep on or around the 1st of May. His
fleece is beautiful, locks long and curly. I do not know for sure now if
his Mother will continue with her flock or not....will post that
information when I get it.
