Today I talk with Joan Tapper and Gale Zucker. They have an informative and visually appealing new book called Shear Spirit, featuring 10 fiber farms across the country. I got to learn all about raising alpacas, sheep, goats and llamas, plus the seductive fibers they shed.

Experience an enjoyable cross-country fiber adventure without leaving home.
