Sheep & Wool Mini Poster: Shropshire

Shropshire is one of the six core Down breeds, known for their natural resistance to felting. Mostly raised these days for meat, it has until recently been difficult to obtain Shropshire fleeces for fiber work. That has been changing in large part because of The Livestock Conservancy’s Shave ’Em to Save ’Em program, and that’s a fine development because the wool is pleasant, versatile, and abundant.
