> Next month is the Latah County Fair.  Our wool group is doing a
> "sheep-to-shawl" demonstration where we show the various steps from
> shearing sheep to washing wool to carding to spinning to knitting the 
> final
> product, a shawl.  I will be washing wool and bringing some of my Jacob
> fleeces to wash.  The dominate sheep (meat category) in this fair is the
> Suffolk with a few miscellaneous meat breeds.  The Suffolk sheep always 
> win
> the 4-H and FFA shows.  There are no other sheep there, no place to show
> Jacobs or any other sheep.  Some of the ladies in our wool group have
> sheep, mostly Icelandic, Lincoln cross, Romneys.  I am the only one with
> Jacobs.  I would like to advertise the Jacob breed.  I will be washing 
> wool
> in front of the fair crowd, so I would like to wear a vest, t-shirt, 
> and/or
> sweatshirt with Jacobs and catchy Jacob sheep phrases all over it.
> Something cute, not gaudy.  Does someone make Jacob sheep hats with the
> four horns??   Yes, I would wear that too (until the ladies ask me to
> leave).  Maybe have a Jacob poster somewhere on display.  I will wear 
> Jacob
> sheep pins and earrings, etc.  Anyone know where I can purchase these
> things?  When I Googled I just found items about Jacob from the bible.
