I'm woolin' it!

[secuono]

Dragged out this year's wool I kept back. Anyone remember if I said white was Seadra or not? Idk. But rest is Babydoll and black/grey to finally finish that blanket!
Hoping white fleeces will be dry in the morning, so I can get to washing these.
Idk how many there are, some I think have 2 fleeces in them.

Do, what will you be making with these fleeces? You are so talented!

Bit over an hour this time. Tried a different way to speed it along. Helped slightly.
1st fleece still not dry, brought it to new house. 2nd fleece definitely not dry, spread it out more. 3rd white fleece now washed n drying. Rest are black fleeces, so won't see the results, justfeell it.

Black is to finish the blanket. Rest, turned into yarn and permanent storage. No one buys it, huge hassle trying to keep up with listing and fake people.

Would you sell the yarn or fleeces?? Just thinking ahead. Could be far far ahead. My friend who had the house fire knits and weaves - she's got like at least 3 huge looms. They're coping with the aftermath of the fire now - but when things are back on a good path I'd be interested. Obviously it will be awhile.

Kibito fleece moved over to finish drying out of the way.
Starting black tomorrow, so need the space.

Sure.

If raw fleeces, you'd have to contact me before shearing day, in the year you want them, as I'll probably give away most locally before posting any for sale for some years to come.

Thank you!! Putting my thinking cap on now.

Too hot already, so moved the last white fleece to dry elsewhere, but will wait to wash more.
Got the first 2 in the house.

One fleece. Other is in a laundry net in my office already.


Last one moved to finish drying.



I feel some lanolin. I think in some previous years, I did layers of, oh, forgot what it's called. The sections of fleece that stick together, locks? Layered them in a basket to not disturb them. Sure made for a better wool to work with, but took forever and a half!


Edit to add 3rd fleece is dry.

Got one Babydoll fleece done and drying. Half or more was tossed, though.


Oh, looks I didn't post about the thing. Got two herb drying racks for wool. Direct to sunlight would be best, ah well.
