some things ive been working on .... I'm slowly cleaning the two romney fleeces I got from the Fleece Man in batches (small apartment fleece washing especially in a wet winter is a whoooole task) but also processing the fleece I was given when I bought my spinning wheel
it started out pretty vm-y and was the first fleece I ever got fully raw, no skirting etc. if I cleaned it now I think I'd have kept a lot more of it than i did but it had definitely been sitting unwashed in a garage for a few years and had all kinds of bugs and things.
I'm using the no fleece left behind method to prep it (which I discovered via @milkweedman thank you!!!!!). unfortunately while it's very effective it's not the kindest on my joints so I'm doing just a bit at a time.
it cleans up into this lovely fluff with a fine crimp. not the longest staple in the world but it'll definitely spin nicely. absolutely no clue what breed or anything it is, i was just handed a garbage bag with no further information.
it's my first white fleece and there's a good amount of it so I'm thinking maybe I'll dye some of it? I have a big bag of avocado pits that's been living in a drawer of my fridge for years now.
on my wheel right now I'm working through a huge coil of top I picked up secondhand for like $5 before I really knew what i was doing. it's sooo much fiber and a really wonderful warm brown and I'm having so much fun with it
BIG news from the radish household. bought 2 whole romney fleeces (~10 lbs each) off a local farmer who put a flyer with a phone number on a community bulletin board
Guuuueeeesssssssss who got two icelandic fleeces?
This person! I may have a problem.
LOVE seeing visible improvements!! My first yarn (bottom) and the one i finished last night (top) waaaay more consistent, springier, but also more coarse, but i also didnt thwack it as much. Might go back before dyeing it and fluff it up, but for now im super pleased!!

My 1st attempt at spinning vs my 4th lmao.
WOOL WOOL WOOL WOOL WOOL
Anyway I have NO clue if im doing any of this right, so if anyone has any Hot Wool Tips they would be greatly appreciated
I know the next step is... brushing it? I think? I still dont even have a spindle or anything lmao
I recently got new coworkers who it would be fun to have over for like tea or something. Unfortunately, one of them is... probably* really allergic to lanolin.
Lanolin is found in unwashed sheeps wool.
I have. So much wool in my house I measure it by the entire fleece
In short: I live in a saw trap for one specific person
(*He had a TERRIBLE allergic reaction and the only thing different that day was lanolin in a product. Now he has to carry epipens EVERYWHERE)
