2018 Wool Pool

On June 16th, the Southeastern New England Fibershed and SEMAP, in collaboration with Bristol Agricultural High School and Bartlett Yarns, created a wool pool to serve Southeastern New England farmers.

Sponsored by the Island Foundation and the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, the fiber tally for the day was over 900 pounds of wool!

See some of the images from the shearing at Bristol Aggie to fiber pickup and be on the lookout for a second wool pool starting to take shape.
