For Flocks Sake !!! Mitchell Wool Company at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival 2023

An interview during set-up for Wisconsin Wool and Sheep with Sherry and Luke. A family with the goal of keeping fiber American made from sheep to skein and environmentally friendly with natural dyes.
There is background noise. Please understand other booths are prepping for the festival and the Mitchells took time from their presale for this interview.
Thank you Sherry and Luke.

    Cool interview . Sherry is someone I could easily hang with. I also would love to see textile mills back in US so wool blankets would be all over like wool army blankets and pea coats when I was young ( kept the brontosauraus warm) but also want to see linen grown and milled in US as less toxic than cotton, longer wearing. Also saving to put wool blown in insulation in house, wishing the poor quality or commerical wool was going into that stream. Glad the Mitchells had the ability to make small inroads, hope others jump in. Watched while hackling alpaca fiber as home processing wool was deemed too arduous by my body and getting wool roving is as expensive as the finished yarn.

    Great interview! Like others said before, I was impressed by your interview style. Loved hearing about the Michel Yarnco, I very much subscribe to their thoughts about yarns, fibers, sheep, education and trying to be an earth positive company. Subscribed, can't wait to see more videos from you!

    I hope you will attend and tell us all about it. (Attending does not require yarn purchasing. Also, Persephone told me she volunteered, but was informed that a private chauffeur and cameraman is not yet in the "Mad House" budget.)

    What a fabulous interview! I’m off to check out their website and see how to support this company. There is a similar mom/son mill, Mountain Meadow Wool Mill, in Wyoming that would be a fun interview. I’m subscribing in hopes of more content like this.

    If you’re ever nearby, NJ Sheep and Wool in Lancaster is small and wonderful surrounded by two small artsy towns and good food at Square One. It’s was last weekend.
