Washed Tatiana's fleece.
Then ordered Kookaburra Scour and will probably rewash both fleeces.
I have Unicorn Beyond Clean, but it's not their Scour version, even though they didn't sell it and said it was interchangeable...

Majin's fleece weight before washing.

2.19# before, 1.54# after. :eek: Lots of lanolin!

Majin's fleece still has some lanolin in it.
3.87# before, 2.58#!

Next, I'll weigh Majin's fleece after combing it out and see how much vm and bad wool bits will come out.

Do you pick the VM prior to washing as well as after or wash and see what all comes out first?
