Resurection day

Resurected a kid mohair fleece I dyed that was a bit stronger colored than I planned.  Put it back in the dye pot for a second and third overdying, I liked the results. Carded it into cloud. Carding in this humid weather is trying, more mohair was sticking to my sweating arms than going into the box. I think about all those women that worked all their lives in the mills in the South during the humid summers with no air conditioning. How hard they worked making production, go home to cook for their family and take care of kids all night. Most of the farmers in this area had wives that worked in the mills in town. She made enough money to buy groceries,a nice car, got health insurance for the family, and she got a retirement check. Most of those women did well for themselves, saving every penny they could, they gardened and canned in the evenings and on weekends. Their names were never on a land deed until their husbands died, then they ended up with the farm and her savings , finally getting what she was worth.
