Wild and Woolly Part 1

It was a windows open type of day yesterday so The Mister painted the wood that will be the bathroom trim in the basement.

 It's a one man job so I decided to tackle the fleece shed. It was a mess. Now it's all tidy.

 I had five old fleeces to deal with. It was either wash them or pitch them.

 Amelia was put aside for washing. She is a Jacob.

 Winston has been washed and spun and knit into a vest. I put it aside for washing since it made a lovely yarn.

 Nora is a very dirty girl.

This is Nora. I love it when shepherds put pictures and personal info on the sheep in with the fleece.

 She's getting a good soaking. I'll wash her tomorrow.

This is a giant Merino that I have neglected for too long. It has yellowed and gotten stiff. Yuck.

 It needed immediate attention. I set up a washing station on the deck. It was too icky for the sink.

In no time I had reduced it to a bunch of soapy bundles. Come back tomorrow to see the rest of this story. It was a very good day.
