I got Vork's (the ram lamb) fleece washed; his is the black/ dark gray from my previous post. I used Ecos this time instead of my usual Dawn. Some of the fleece still smells a little sheepy but that may be my fault as I seem to remember not having enough wool left for two full batches so I washed more than usual at one time. Fiber sure needs lots of water during washing. Otherwise, the Ecos worked pretty well. The wool feels very clean and the Ecos rinsed easily.
Next up, carding. I'm probably going to drum card most of this but hand cards would be a great choice too. Spinning from batts is fun but spinning for well prepared rolags..............ahhhhh.
