UPDATED: Breed Specific Fiber Inventory

Since I posted my original Breed Specific Fiber Inventory, I ordered additional fiber from A Little Barn (italicized in the list below) and from The Woolery (bolded in the list below).  Here’s the updated list!  Both orders have been shipped; I expect The Woolery order on Tuesday and the Little Barn order on Thursday or Friday.  Also, because I think this project will take more than a year, I’m adding the tag ‘Breed Spin.’  I previously said the tag was BreedSpin2015, and I am going to keep that tag; I’m just adding the more generic one.
