Nip across and have a look at NEEPS. There are quite a few Neepsters on here as well. The NE Scotland environmental folks. There is a great thread going at the moment of people who want to learn spinning and similar stuff.

We'll be holding a spinning day sometime soon - I'll post the details here too. If anyone from Ish is interested they are more than welcome to come along.

Fleeces have appeared on freecycle before now too.

too far for me Shirlz - or I would be there!

Colhut and I went on a local 'how to process your fleece course.. went through cleaning drying dyeing, carding, spinning and peg looming all in one day. really informative!

Cassiepod, if I get offered another free black fleece, i would be able to share some wool

I have some fleeces if you are still wanting one or two.
