This Field Guide takes the brilliant (and extensively informative) Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook and condenses it into a bite-sized reference for 100 different kinds of sheep and their unique fleece. Unlike its big sister, this book is portable—so you can tote it along to your local yarn stores, sheep farms, and fiber festivals!

For each sheep breed, you’ll find information (accompanied by full color photography) on how to prepare each fleece for spinning and dyeing, the best uses for the wool, fleece weights, staple lengths, and fiber diameters. A veritable wealth of fleecy knowledge!
