Rajiv Receives Sheeps Fleece from a Local Farm in Rhode Island! Rajiv Surendra 2024-08-21 | From his days at Pioneer Village, Rajiv has learned how to process sheep fleece into yarn, using a spinning wheel. Today he 'skirts' the fleeces of some very special sheep in rural Rhode Island. (Fun fact: the background noise of a continuous rumble is the ocean nearby, the sound of the waves!)Rajiv's friend Deborah will be working with most of this fleece to produce cloth.
