More fleeces

 I have someone interested in the fleece skirts.

As I pull the bad off the fleeces, instead of it going

on the ground for me to pick up later, it goes in the 

box that is sitting on the scale. The reader is up

on top of the hay (on trailer under green tarp).

All of these fleeces have a lot of fine hay seed

along their spines. Some have larger pieces that

will be easy enough to shake, or pick out.

And some may still have some round poop balls.

The lambs think their mothers are great to climb on,

and others pooped on them when they were laying down.

At $5/lb. I am not going to put any more effort

into these fleeces than the heavy skirting that I've done.

MUDDY tips

 The bottom picture is of the same locks in the 

picture before. A couple of hot water soaks with 

a little blue Dawn and a couple of hot water rinses.

At this point, it is still stained. But, that is mud 

and manure mixed from all the rain we had last year.

I will comb this out and spin it to see if it looks 

any better. Or if it is a candidate for the dye pot.

Just a teaser!

These are 3 of our Dorset/Romney fleeces

that I stashed from last year's shearing.

These girls were not tagged, so I am not 100%

sure who is who. But, the fleeces are a lot cleaner than

this year's for 3 reasons. #1-They were sheared in 

January, and #2-They were sheared before the lambs

were born, and #3-I was in charge of feeding hay out.

 This part of the post is mainly to show off our 

shades of gray and brown. If you are interested

in one, or more, of these 3 fleeces let me know.

They are $8/lb. I haven't weighed them yet, nor 

taken pictures of the staples, nor do I know the

staple length. But, we can do that if you are interested.
