A Successful Maryland Wool Pool

The Maryland Wool Pool sold 29,643 lbs. of wool, brought to the pool by 58 consignors. The pool shipped 78 bales that weighed an average of 390 lbs. Last year's pool packed 29034 lbs. of wool into 112 bales.

Special thanks is extended to the 30 volunteers who assisted with this year's pool. Volunteers are what  makes the pool successful and profitable.

Emily Chamelin is the wool pool manager. Contact her at aeriedairy@yahoo.com. if you have any questions or suggestions for the wool pool. The pool is sponsored by the Maryland Sheep Breeders Association.
