The wool is a tough sell. I only produce a half-dozen fleeces a year, and am fortunate to have a craftsperson who wants raw fleeces and is willing to pay a decent amount and shipping. For small outfits, that's about your only hope.
The only other way I know of to sell fleeces/wool in small lots is way labor intensive. You have to have them sheared whether you have a market for the wool or not, so we won't count that expense. After cleaning, skirting, washing and carding the wool to produce what's called roving, it's nearly impossible to make a buck. Again, your only hope is high quality wool in unusual natural colors and a craft market that knows what you have and wants it.
