I also spent some of yesterday picking over fleeces. Ali managed to procure 2 scottish mule fleeces and a BFL and kindly offered me half so as she was working I have started on some of the preparation.
Here are some photos of the mule on the table and freya and I trying to work out which end is which...lol
The BFL but well we shall see about this one
The BFL in the soaker hmmmmmmm yuk yuk 3 soaking so far and lots lots more to go I fear. Hope the carding helps cos this here fleece is full of bits yukkkky
The mule back end only in soaker/barrow this is its 3 soaking and it is looking good...
close up of both clean area and dirty area of mule, this looks so lovely already can't wait to start carding and spinning this one...
In true nana style I also had a wee soaker for Emily and she did enjoy collecting the bits and washing them... whether they have managed to not felt well that will remain to be seen but she lo
ved getting into this lovely squishy mess I provided...lol
This is going to be a big learning curve for me and of course Emily I want to thank Ali for the sharing of the fleeces and of course the wonderful bath to use as a soaker too...
