FOUR FLEECE FOR FUN!

It was great to receive four lovely Leicester Longwool fleece from Yew Tree Farm https://www.facebook.com/YTFSeighford/

The first photo is a lambswool Evie daughter of Siri. 

Evie's first shearing with lovely long locks of about 4+ inches

This I think was SIRI which will be used for crochet throw

This I believe was Westbury a ewe. Lovely and large quantity of fleece 

This is Juliet 

 

 Here is the first two washing up bowls worth drying. It came up beautifully clean with just one hot wash plus one warm wash both in Fairy liquid then one rinse plus individual boxes rinsed in warm water. I squeeze out as much moisture as I can then put on a towel in the airing cupboard which is usually warm. They dry in about 24 hours ready for spinning although I can usually only card enough to spin one skein a day.
