Rajiv Surendra | Rajiv Receives Sheep's Fleece from a Local Farm in Rhode Island! @rajivsurendra | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
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. To see her work, please visit uppercanadaweaving.com
