Dear Carolyn/Þóra--

Okay, you win!  Icelandic wool--wow!

More details on the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival, please!  Sounds like a fun
roadtrip to *me*...

In answer to Hrolf's query, the Chelsea Fleece Faire (in MI) was started a
number of years ago in order to promote Michigan-grown wool...

By the way, anyone out there tried spinning quiviut (musk ox inner hairs)?
Any pointers?
