Wool is a profitable investment if it is properly prepared and of high quality.  Finnsheep wool is no exception.  The IFR Breed Standard makes it easier than ever before for Finnsheep breeders and buyers to identify quality Finnsheep wool, wool that gets noticed in the show ring!  These photos were taken at the  Pennsylvania Farm Show 2013 Fleece to Shawl competition.  As you can see from the photograph, the shawl, made exclusively of Finnsheep wool produced by an IFR member flock,  won Grand Champion!  All shawls produced during the competition were auctioned at the end of the evening.  This gorgeous Finnsheep  shawl went for $1025.   Definitely a profitable investment!
