Decisions

Decided to go ahead and skirt some of the nice adult fleeces for washing. One thing this hot weather is good for is drying wool and mohair. I have been looking at KeeKee's fleece for quite awhile, I love the color and softness.  She had this fleece on when we went to the National Colored Angora Goat Show in Rhinebeck, quite a haul for us, but all the goats made it fine, even though it rained on us all the way in . With her previous fleece I spun thick curly yarn and knitted a huge triangle shaw. I wanted to keep it for my own, but it was so beautiful it sold quickly. So her fleece is in the fourth stage of processing, first was growing,( it has to be a good sound fleece to go any further), then shearing, next skirting, now washing.
