I'm in charge of a local spinner's and weaver's guild - they have taught me a lot so far, and I'm looking forward to learning much more.

Every year we have a Guild Challenge/project. I had an idea for this year - give some raw fleece to each member, and have them clean, card, dye (if desired), and spin it, and along the way try to guess the breed. We haven't had a Guild Challenge that involves spinning for awhile.

So, I am looking for wool from various sheep breeds - about 4 to 6 ounces of raw, unwashed, skirted fleece. There are 10 or 12 Guild members, so I'm hoping to get 12 different breeds (well, 11, since I can use my Icelandics).

Please let me know what breed or breeds you have, and how much you'd want for 4 to 6 ounces of raw skirted wool per different breed. Or if you'd like, I can trade you an equal amount of raw skirted Icelandic wool. Thank you!
