I'm looking for a supplier of rare breed fleeces but not the raw fleece, tops if possible. I'd like to experiment with different ones but haven't the time to prepare them myself - does anyone know a small breeder who could help?

What kind of quantities? I recntly had a very interesting package from forest fibres on ebay, she does all sorts of different things. I think twistfibre craft do lots of tops, and of course, there is always wonderwool......

I'll post some links later on.

Thanks, womble (or welly - whichever you prefer) I'll have a look at those, the type of thing that appears at Wonderwool is exactly what I was thinking of but I can't get there this weekend and Woolfest is a bit too late for me.

Maybe if anyone who's going see anything interesting you could pass it on. Going to cry now cos I can't go. Snot fair!

A company called Moral Fibre might be worth tracking down, I had some lovely stuff from them last year all uber ethical as well.

Lots of interesting things. Stacey had some lovely stuff (the pink alpaca and silk has been rehomed! Embarassed ) I was positively restrained though (honest!)

Now, links to make up for missing wonderwool....... Places where in the past I have not been quite so restrained......

Should lighten your purse a little. Especially forest fibres, who has everything from alpaca to yak! Craftynotions are superquick and very helpful, as are twistfibrecraft, who have lovely wools in lovely colours. Enjoy!
