Fiber Exchange Notebooks
from Sheep Hollow Farm and Fiber

These notebooks are the result of participation in several Internet fiber exchanges. The material presented in them has been collected by many individuals. Exchange participants chose a breed and were asked to furnish grease wool samples typical of the breed, from purebred animals. In addition to the wool, information about the breed was also provided, including a photo and a list of reference materials used.

Each volume contains fact sheets and wool samples for a variety of breeds – 28 in volume one, 23 in volume two, 18 in volume three, and 19 in volume four (see listing of breeds below). For most of the breeds there is at least one color photograph and both a greasy lock and a washed lock fiber sample.

The wool samples are mounted on separate sheets and put in plastic sheet protectors to prevent any oils or salts in the locks from staining or otherwise altering the inks used in printing. The sheets are easily removed in order to compare the locks while reading about the individual breeds.

Two pages from volume one are pictured on the right.
