Skirting fleeces

Started skirting the freshly shorn fleeces, this is a BFL-Cotswold fleece, washed up real nice, a silvery blue and very clean. These sheep have grass to graze even in winter and the fleeces are extremely clean and take very little washing. Also washed a BFL-Corriedale fleece from Midnight that I will card into roving and spin into yarn. Midnight's mama, Punkin, was my favorite fleece for 14 years, so many shades of gray and silver. Punkin was the smallest lamb in a set of triplets, and had many sets of triplets herself. The last set had to be removed by C-section, she was just too old to carry that many lambs. She lived several more years and became old and feeble, but still had a nice fleece.
