THE STORY OF SHEEP-IN-A-BOX As an Agriculture teacher turned Shepherd and Mom, Caroline Owens knew that with the right support material, a sheep's fleece would be a powerful hands-on teaching tool integrating art with science and history. She created a kit for local homeschool families, and the idea caught on.

Lesson plans last forever, but roving gets used up.  Sheep-in-a-Box for the classroom includes 4 oz of roving, enough for 4-6 kids doing an introductory project. This roving is Romney wool, which spins and felts very well.

smallestgirlfleece

Go ahead and use up the raw fleece that comes with your Sheep-in-a-Box: order a new one for next year's class.  Breed of sheep varies, but the fleece is guaranteed to be white and to be the entire fleece sheared from an individual sheep.   “Raw” means straight off the sheep, not washed or processed in any way.
