Can you sheer the sheep(*・・)σ

@zzombiye - @zebraslovescupcakestoo great mind think a like ?

Shearing is a roller coaster, losing the fluffiness is so sad but nothing that a lollipop 🍭 can’t fix(?)

Takes a while make a ball of wool, since the sheep is so tiny, so for now saving for a future scarf or beanie.

Not gonna lie, this feel like a mammon’s plan

...maybe we should use a trimmer next time.

@marzipanandminutiae To complement on the black sheep conversation from the other day, I have recent shearing pictures from today!

This is before, during and after. As you can see, the skin is completely black but the wool looks almost golden (would the legend of the golden fleece be originated from similar haired sheep?)

Now, as for the wool itself:

This is some leftovers from last year (we forgot about it). It stayed partially in the shadow (some times of the day it was the full sun on it) and not very rained on but it certainly got humidity in winter. The darkest part looks like a very dark brown after a year exposed to the elements.

This is from today:

It was quite sunny and so the light reflects on the black wool so much so that it looks gray or even ash white :/. But anyways, you can notice the difference in colour between the inner part and the outer part. Reminds me of fire a bit.

We have 15 sheep. This is what we obtained from them. It is the cleanest I have seen their wool in the past 4 years (and some parts of it I am just throwing away because they were covered in shit, but if I had been a poor peasant girl in the 18th Century, I would have kept it anyways because free wool!). If I knew how to spin, I could start spinning without washing at least half of this.

I will try to wash it next week, I can show you how it looks like once it's been washed with water (no soap needed for what I want, plus it keeps more lanoline this way).

My guess is... If you separate the best and darkest fibres and you keep the resulting fabric protected from the elements most of the time, you can have quite dark garments that would look black very often. With just some tiny help from certain tinctures, it could be really really dark.

For many people, and particularly those who spend a lot of time outside, tones of brown it is.
