 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.




Very Happy with it!
