Well okay since you insist
Check out the website at http://www.keepthefleece.org/ . What a creative bunch these people are on the steering committee. They have set up a design competition with categories such as "Camelot" using fibre from camel, llama, alpaca, etc. Another category is "Inch by Inch" for designers using pure silk. Isn't that fun?
Wheeee off to spin!! Pictures of the fleece forthcoming -as soon as I'm done fondling it!
They are also aiming to create the world's longest scarf (which will later be divided into sensible lengths and donated charity.) The altruistic aim of the scarf exercise is to find knitter/sponsors who will contribute $1/row to participate in its growth. The funds will then go to Heifer International which supports the raising of flocks in developing countries.

Sounds cool, but a badgerface what? Goat? Sheep?
Sheep -apparently there are a British breed. I wanted a Gotland or Perendale but they were spoken for before I heard about them.
