I will also be available for troubleshooting and advice.   Bring your projects and ideas and we'll spend the time messing with wool.   If you have any of your own equipment like wool cards, spinning wheel, drop spindle,??, bring them along to use or learn how to use.  
I will provide a light lunch.  Please bring your own beverage and if you need specialtly foods, please bring your own. Let us know if you plan to come.   Email Robin at nittygrittygoodswool@gmail.com

About our WOOL CSA

As a Wool Community Supported Agriculture shareholder, your membership helps support our flock.
Each Wool CSA member will receive:
1. One raw skirted fleece ready to be further processed for handspinning, felting or crafting.
2. Any two classes from the class list below. Members may also attend additional classes for a reduced fee.
3. Farm visits: Spring shearing day at the farm, Lambing time at the farm (March and April), and the three Nitty Gritty Dirt Farm farm festivals (the first Sunday in June, August and October). Additional farm visits with pre-arrangement.

And now the Nitty Gritty about $$$

Each Wool CSA share costs $130. Upon receipt of your membership form and payment you will receive your fleece and coupons for two classes. Class coupons must be used in the year that the CSA share is purchased. Your fleece will be available for pick up at the farm or mailed to you – whichever you prefer. Sign up with the registration form. You can either copy it and send a hard copy to us with your $$, or paste it into an email with your check in the mail. Make checks out to Nitty Gritty Dirt Farm.
