Wool, Wool, Wool

My sister wasn't working today, so I only babysat while she went to the doctor, so I took the opportunity to catch up on some wool processing. I washed a shetland fleece that I got at Rhinebeck, and it's now drying in a huge heap on my kitchen counter. We probably have tax clients stopping tonight, and they'll undoubtedly be impressed by Wool Mountain. My niece, Abby, age 4, helped me fluff the wool up so it could dry. If you are interested in my fiber washing methods, I posted them on my Fiber Junky knitting blog.

I did take some pictures, which I sent with my sister to upload to my Pacassa site, so hopefully I'll be able to post some later, or maybe tomorrow. I'm not sure what you'll find more impressive, the pile of wool, or the basin full of filthy water I produced washing it!

Oh wow, I can't wait to see your pictures!! I love to spin but always buy my fleece washed and ready for the drum carder :) I have always wanted to get some sheep for the wool but am not sure if I want to do all of the cleaning. I've been told it's super easy but have been to scared to try it *grin*
I'm definitely going to have to stop back later,
