Conservation Breed Wool

According to the Woolery, "Part of the fun of working with wool is that there are so many unique varieties of sheep. Wool from different breeds work better for different projects and having a choice is fun. In order to make sure we have choices in our wool fibers for the future, we need to work on conserving rare sheep breeds. Choosing to work with Conservation Breed Wool helps support the farmers and organizations who are working hard to preserve these breeds."

The Wyoming Wool Industry has an interesting history and is shared on the Wyoming Wool Growers' Association website

As Guild members, we should support the local industry as much as we possibly can by purchasing local wool products or by helping to promote the industry.
