Lamb And Wool Queen
(Continued from Page B 6)
audience watching the Sheep to
Shawl competition.
Laurie spoke on the wall wool
growers face because the market
is flooded with imported wool
rather than processors using
Pennsylvania wool.
The average fleece weighs 6.8
pounds. Three men’s wool suits
can be made from one fleece, ac
cording to Laurie.
The market is extremely frus
trating for growers who received
only 10 cents per pound for
highest quality wool last year.
Most factories refuse to buy
wool from U.S. wool growers be
cause they can’t compete with
market prices of other synthetic
fabrics.
“We need to push wool in
today’s fashion world, even if is
blended wool,” Laurie said.
Those who wear wool know
that nothing feels warmer in
frigid weather than 100 percent
wool outfits. Many consumers
are unaware that blended wools
are available in many surprising
textures and weights. Even
summertime blends of wool,
most commonly known as wool
crepes, are comfortable for hot
weather.

Many wools can be machine
washed and machine dried
using ordinary household deter
gents.
Wool is self-cleaning because
stains shed off. It is rainproof,
and fire resistant. Compared to
synthetics, wool provides longer
wear, resists snags, tears, fading,
and does not pill or snag easily.
It resists wrinkling and springs
back to original shape.
After contestants had pre
sented their speeches, Laurie
was crowned queen. The court
includes Andrea Sholtis, first
runner-up; Amanda Darr,
second runner-up; and Amanda
Wilson, princess.
Although Laurie is studying
animal science at Penn State
where she also works in the col
lege’s sheep barns, she will
travel throughout the state to
represent the lamb and wool in
dustry. Most of her appearances
will be at county fairs and at ag
riculture events, where she
hopes to entice more people to
eat lamb and wear wool.
One of the ways Laurie en
courages people to try lamb is
handing out recipes. Here are
some of Laurie’s favorite lamb
dishes.
