We need your colored fleeces for the Suri Network Fleece Show and luster
study!
You've finished shearing, standing knee-deep or waist-deep
in fleece. Now what do you do? Don't stuff it into a bag, put it in the barn
or basement, and forget about it. If
your fleece is white, gray, or multi, we want it for the fleece show, but if
the fleece is fawn, brown, or black, we have a way to make your fleece do
double duty.
Here is how to make your fleece work harder. The annual Suri Network fleece show is rapidly
approaching. Enter your fleece in the
fleece show and as part of your entry, indicate that you would like your fleece
to be included in the luster study. After
the show, we'll collect the sample for the luster study and return the rest of
the fleece to you. The luster study gets
a much-needed sample to complete the study.
You get a judge's evaluation of your fleece plus all the information on
the fleece sample from the luster study.
To recap:
-
Skirt and enter your fleece in the Suri Network
Fleece Show;
- Include a note that you want the fleece included
in the luster study;
-
Include $15.00 to help cover the costs of the
study;
-
Bring your fleece to the symposium or mail it
according to the fleece show instructions;
-
Pick up your fleece after the symposium or have
it mailed back to you (minus the part we keep for the luster study)
If
you already sent in your entry and want to participate in the luster study,
notify the Suri Network office.
That's it. The
hardest part is skirting your fleece for the show, but you were going to do
that anyway, weren't you?
