fibers, including wool. She said,
“Natural fibers are a lot more
forgiving than synthetic fibers.
They breathe and are good insu
lators, and wool serves as a nat
ural fire retardant.”
King attends many festivals
which promote wools and natur
al fibers, including the
Maryland Sheep and Wool
Festival, the New York Wool
Festival, Fiber Fest in Michigan
and Ohio, a North Carolina craft
fair and the Bob Evans Farm
Festival in Ohio where she
appears in a period costume
made of natural fibers. She also
visits a lot of schools, and talks
about flax, silk and other natur
al fibers.
She said she feels she has
found a niche market for the
Merino wool and can get a pre
mium for the high quality she
produces. “My customers appre
ciate the fiber and quality from
my animals.”
King says it takes a little
longer to do chores when keep
ing the sheep as clean as possi
ble to maintain the high quality
of the wool.
Another Ohio woman, Elaine
Clouser showed the grand cham
pion fleece, the champion com
mercial farm flock fleece, the
champion purebred farm flock
fleece, first place Merino ram
fleece and best exhibit of five
