In Brisane, Emmanuelle and her husband raise about six hundred sheep and a hundred angora goats (Maine mohair).
These goats give their fleece, twice a year, transformed into this wonderful mohair wool, light and so soft.
In Saint-Sulpice, Clare raises alpacas (Atlantis alpaca) that give the wool of the same name, also warm, soft and light.
Each of them will present to you on Sunday, June 2, two or three of their animals, the wools they produce, and will show you the products they make … and that you can get.
