Fiber Weekend Part 3
The third batch of fleece I started on, but didn't get finished, is the second 1 lb lot I bought from Katrina's Wool World. It's lovely white Jacob fleece - a bit of a surprise for me as all the Jacob I've previously worked with has been dark. There is a bundle of gray that she included with it and I plan to card it into the white. It has been thoroughly washed and just needs the veg picked out. I'm hoping to get it finished soon as I'd like to get it carded it so I can spin it. There's just something about Jacob I love. True, it isn't the baby-bottom softest wool but it has so much character and I just love how it feels in my hands when I'm working with it. There's just something so fresh yet primitive about it, it just appeals to me!
So that's the last about fleece for now, I promise something different for tomorrow! Cheers!
