Polly Dickerson & Lisa Grzeskowiak:
Sunshine Acres Farm raises Pygora goats and Cormo sheep in West Central Ohio. A Pygora goat produces a wonderful, lofty, soft, fiber that does not coarsen as the goat ages. Add in an affectionate, engaging personality, a manageable size, good health and fleece in a range of colors and you have the perfect fiber goat! This fine fiber can be blended and spun into a yarn that can be used in a multitude of ways. Pygora can be felted into wearable products or into art work. The possibilities are endless!
