A white run

I don't usually like to card white fiber, but this was a special request. Before running white all the drums on the carder have to be cleaned of any dyed fiber, or the roving will be contaminated with bits of color, quite a job. Then I decided to run a white Cotswold fleece from Audry, just watching the fiber run down the infeed was cooling. I will follow with natural colored fleeces, then back to dyed. Natural colored fibers are my favorite but rich dyed wool and mohair will catch the buyers eye first. Still waiting on that cold front to come through so I can get back to shearing, hopefully that will happen some day, soon. Got Lambie Pie, Cormo-Cotswold cross shorn and washed this week. I didn't think the fleece would be usuable but after a good shaking and washing the results are beautiful. Never throw a fleece away until you wash a sample, all the sins might wash away.
