Woolly Wednesday: Not Too Hot

 I am halfway through the yarn I spun during this year's TdF and I have a long way to go on the Featherweight Cardi.


 I have a few more locks leftover but not nearly enough to get another bobbin or two.


 Since the weather has been on the cooler side, I dug the fleece out and had a lock washing day.


 I have used up the best of the locks and now I am down to the really dirty parts.


It's going to be a challenge to get enough clean locks out of all that VM. This sheep was a real slob.


 Those rubber gloves The Mister gave me for our anniversary are wonderful. How dumb was I not to think of using them sooner?


Now I have blue locks drying all over the house once again. Good times.

    Beautiful colours. I hope you get enough good locks to finish the project.

    You are one of my only knitblog pals who does EVERYTHING but rear the sheep for a project

    The featherweight is a lovely pattern and yours is a lovely colour. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

    I'm sharing your frustration on the VM front, a tedious task.

    Beautiful locks despite the dirty tips! I'd rather dirty tips than poo any day!

    I love that blue, they were dirty tips - lovely how they've come out in the wash.

    Lovely denim blue colour. What dyes did you use for it?

    Always so inspiring to see raw fleece through to finished garment. I'm looking out for the finished item!
