I am trying to avoid housework. This has taken me to such a level that I decided to catalog all the different breeds of sheep fleece that I have currently, both processed and raw. It wasn’t as big of a list as I had thought it would be…
Blue Faced Leicester (colored)-Raw Fleece
Cheviot-Both raw and tops
Corriedale (black)- tops
Falkland- Tops
Finnish Landrace (asst. colors)-Cleaned wool
Hebridian- Tops
Jacob (asst. colors)-Cleaned Wool
Leicester Longwool- Raw Fleece
Merino-Processed every way imaginable
Navajo Churro- Cleaned Wool
Shetland-Raw Wool and Tops
Wensleydale Longwool-Tops
Remind me if you see me at Wonderwool Wales trying to get any of these breeds please:-)
(BTW, plan on washing the raw fleeces next week! Should be fun!)
oh cool! We can have fun with the drumcarder in September 🙂
Me again:
I just got a Merino/banana/ramie mix 🙂 but just 50gr. Shall I try to get my hands on some interesting stuff, so that we can make a BFL-Ramie mix (for sock yarn??)
If you would like. I plan on taking (if I get into it) a spinning for socks class at Knit Nation:-)
Envy(100) 🙂 Take tons of pictures at KN for me!!!!
