Something Not Knitting


I was given several large bags of fleece. It appears that there is a whole fleece per bag and they were super icky dirty.


This is round one of soaking, no soap just water. I used soap on the second pass.

I think I need to soak it again using smaller batches. But you can see that this is significantly cleaner.  

My ultimate goal is to be able to take a project sheep to shawl. 

Starting with the raw fleece and ending up with a fine lace shawl. 
A labor of love, but I want to know how it is done.
I am quirky like that.
