Walk me through washing a wool-fleece again~woo hoo I did it!!

[freemotion]

I'm certainly no expert, having washed a total of...er....one fleece. Carded a total of....um....1/5 of a fleece. Spun a total of....well...none.

But yours looks like mine did and it carded just fine. If it is felted, it is all matted, like a matte on a long-haired cat, that you have to cut out and cannot de-tangle. I see fibers in your picture, not lumps of felted wool.

I just ordered carders and a drop spinner today.

Next year I'm going to be up to my ears in wool!

Sure thing. I'm gearing up to "keep busy" for the next 4-6 weeks.

Sissy has the same problem she gets cold real easy, and have had to buy her a couple sweatshirts and a small fleece jacket. Its put something on her or watch her shiver and teeth chatter. I did manage to find her things at Petco.
