As more innovative ideas emerge for dealing with our abundance of unused or ‘waste’ wool in N. America, many are looking at adding wool pelleting operations to their existing wool based business.

This 1.5 hr workshop will look at our journey and considerations for adding a wool pelleting operation to our business. The workshop will look at:

• equipment and infrastructure needs

• research on wool in the soil

• sourcing waste wool

• packaging

• marketing

• finances

• Q & A

Cost: $15 - $50 (sliding scale)

Location: On-line ZOOM

Date & Time: Tuesday, May 31
6pm CST

Zoom details will be emailed out before the workshop.

We use a sliding scale for many of our workshops as a way to create more financial accessibility to our workshops and events.

The economic concept of sliding scale at its most basic: people pay as they are able to for services, events and items. Those with access to more resources pay more and thus provide the cushion for those with less access to pay less, creating a sustainable economic underpinning for said services, events and items. (Hadassah Damien)

Implementing a sliding scale is a part of our commitment to challenging privilege and with that we recognize that financial resources should not be the determining factor for folks that want to access farming and textiles education, information and experience.

At the moment we do not receive any external funding for field school, so as a small business we offer sliding scale payment where we can without endangering our ability to provide for our family. The hope is that our sliding scale system will help our fibre and textile community thrive - with a commitment to diversity and economic and social justice.
