Another treasure

Found another hidden treasure, Gwynneth Paltro's wether, full Cotswold, but looks like kid mohair. A fleece from 2005,  very clean and washed up real nice. The good thing about a farm product like wool and mohair is it will last forever if you keep the bugs out of it. There was also a BFL fleece from Blue, my ram, from the same year, that is so crimpy, not as clean, but beautiful. My goal is to go through all the fleeces in the garage and get them processed, in some stage, before the next shearing, which will not be long. Last Friday was so miserable some of the sheep are heat stressed, not moving around much. I am keeping a close eye on them and hope we can make it until it cools down.
