Maybe I'm being dense here---are you talking about a "fleece" as in the
shorn wool directly from the sheep so you can make your pad from
scratch?  If that's the case, you can get fleeces from any ag school
(like Cal Poly) that keeps sheep, or you might try searching the 'net
for some of the publications for folks that do spinning and such.  Karen
Clanin is on this list but she's pretty busy right now, but she has
sheep and goats and used to be into spinning and weaving her own woolley
things.  She might be able to suggest a source, she's at
kclanin@fix.net.

Good luck!
