I loaded it onto my Kindle Fire for easy reference. Has good photographs and descriptions of a hundred breeds of sheep (although in some instances, such as with Dorsets, the author will write up descriptions of the various types of Dorsets). You get a little info on the breed's origins, characteristics of the wool, whether or not it tends to felt, how well it takes dye, some basic preparation recommendations (whether to comb or card the fleece) and what projects the wool is well suited for--such as whether a particular wool would be better for a sturdy blanket or outer sweater, or a next-to-the-skin scarf or baby item. I really liked that an example of a lock from each breed is photographed next to a ruler so you can see its length and how much crimp it has. I've used it at my fiber suppliers when they had a new kind of wool and I wanted to know more about it before buying some. Review: Lots of information in a travel size book! - I couldn’t ask for a better field guide! Has all the information you need to determine what you need from a fleece! Small enough to take with you to fairs or shops to look up the wool before you purchase. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Images ![The Field Guide to Fleece: 100 Sheep Breeds & How to Use Their Fibers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91P-+mplAFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good to have around *by L***R on July 15, 2016* Great little resource book.

Has all the information you need to determine what you need from a fleece! Small enough to take with you to fairs or shops to look up the wool before you purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Information *by N***Y on September 22, 2013* I am enrolled in the Master Spinner program through Olds College. This is an excellent reference to get a quick overview of the typical fleeces available (and some that I hadn't heard of). It's an excellent companion to Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook, and easier to carry with you. For example, if you find yourself at a festival and you see a fleece in which you are interested, you could quickly find the breed in the book and see what the typical micron count is and some suggestions for what to do with the fleece (even though you probably have something already in mind). There is a picture of a lock of each breed and generally a picture of the sheep as well. So if you run across someone who has sheep but doesn't know what breed they have, you could show them some pictures and see if that helps. If you are buying fleece online you could look up the breed here and be better informed. If you know the name of a breed but can't remember what it's useful for, you could look here and find out. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Field Guide to Fleece: 100 Sheep Breeds & How to Use Their Fibers - The Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook: More Than 200 Fibers, from Animal to Spun Yarn - The Spinner's Book of Fleece: A Breed-by-Breed Guide to Choosing and Spinning the Perfect Fiber for Every Purpose --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3141010-the-field-guide-to-fleece-100-sheep-breeds-and-how](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3141010-the-field-guide-to-fleece-100-sheep-breeds-and-how) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
