| Natural Color Fleece - "U" |
Nothing like working with freshly shorn fleeces! Tonight I skirted the natural colored fleece from "U". She looks brown in full fleece because of the weathered tips on her blackish wool, but she is a frosted black/grey at the skin level. We'll get a micron test on her this year to see how fine or coarse her wool is.
Here's another fleece from our Wild Rose Farm Rambouillet #329 ..... her 2010 Reserve Grand Champion fleece went to the
Lancaster Spinners and Weavers Guild for a fiber study project over the winter. This 2011 fleece will go along to the
Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Festival for Beth - she gets "first right of refusal" on it! :) It looks nice & crimpy like last year.
