FINALLY. The last bit of last year's crossbreed is in the final rinsewater. I have been washing wool like a fiend all week.
#been going back and forth between the dirt-caked romney (SO. MUCH. WORK)#and trying to finish the clun forest cross#i am pleased to report that the clun forest cross is now practically done and all it has to do is dry#fiber is such a process y'all#and you spin so much faster than you comb and washing takes so much work#and I live in a house with electricity and a stove and boiler!#think i might write a letter to the shepherd tomorrow to let him know his fleece was used in an award-winning project#(the romney is work because in addition to the dirt it's all jumbled together.#if i could just unroll it like a blanket it would be A LOT faster)#ETA I AM SO DONE WITH THE ROMNEY (not literally there's still at least half the fleece left to wash)#it BETTER spin up pretty because it is a pain in the butt to process#the worst part is that i lost track of how i got this one batch clean even to the tips#because apparently it was not pre-soaking alone that did the trick as evidenced by tonight'ss failure#also i am fed up with my large mesh fleece washing bag. cat sifting litter box my beloved.#maybe i'll get another...
