What in Class: Navajo-Churro Fleece
For this class, I picked our fleece from Alyssa at Golden Grove Farm. She’s based out of New York and produces some scrummy fleeces.
Additional Navajo-Churro Resource: I also like to get fleeces from Sam Cunningham who has previously sat on the board for the Navajo Churro Sheep Association. She has beautiful fleeces and a wealth of knowledge. https://cunningtonfarms.com/

What in Class: Lock Pop, Cards
Henry and Roy are gems of the fiber community. They had a booth at PlyAway if you made it to the vendor hall. They produce some really high quality fiber tools. I’m a fan of their curve-backed cotton cards in particular. And the lock pop is a game changer.
