Jacob Sheep

I bought my first raw fleece!

~

 Washing it was definitely not the easiest!

 ~

 Took a few rounds!

 ~

 I can't believe it's white! There was a lot of dirt and lanolin.

 ~

 The drying process

 ~

 A lot of wool.

 ~

 Before carding.

 ~

 I learned that the grey sometimes is called Lilac.

 Four different colors!

I bought my fleece at Never Winter Farms! The best farm around.

 Spun just a handful to see what it would look like!

 ~

 And this is what I will make.
