NEXT SIP N KNIT - APRIL 13TH, 2023 @ 5:30 - Flathead Brewery
Evening Talk with John Steitz & Carol Tredwell-Steitz
Saturday May 20th, 2023 @ 6 pm - At Fiber upstairs
Come out for an evening talk about the award winning Steitzhof Merinos!
Steitzhof Merinos raises colored merino sheep in the Flathead Valley. We have built this highly awarded flock from different merino strains from around the country and the world. This all began as a means to rebuild a plot of land we had purchased and my background as a failed commercial sheep producer back in the early 1980’s. The sheep were great but the market was not meant for small producers. 30 years later through conversations with producers, fiber artists, academics, friends and our own carried over knowledge we developed a different way to raise a flock of sheep to build a fleece in concert with building soil for a healthy environment. From there we continue to learn and develop. We will walk through a year at Steitzhof and build a fleece together.
Refreshments available.
