Sheep Shearing

Today DH and I drove out to Willow Garden Shetlands for the annual sheep shearing. I met some super nice people (spinners of course) and helped skirt fleeces for 4 hours. It was alot of fun and I bought a very pale grey shetland fleece and the last BFL fleece from last year. The fleeces are very similar in colour but the BFL has a more pronounced crimp and tighter lock structure. Above are some pics of the washed staples. See if you can tell which is Shetland and which is BFL.
