The Coopworth Sheep breed is a relatively new breed, as sheep breeds go. The sample I worked with was from a lamb and contained long lovely locks. I cover in this podcast how to wash and spin locks, and the specifics of this sampling.
Information on the Breed is from the Fleece and Fiber Source Book.
Another book I mention is Merino by Margaret Stove.
Previously I reviewed Coopworth in Episode 45.
I have also done a live stream on washing locks.
In the second part of this live stream, I show how to spin those locks.
All of my live streams are being archived on my channel on YouTube, so if those links above do not work try going to this channel.
