I linked your first blog to my Facebook and I'll tweet about them, as well.<br /><br />I did not know the process and find it very interesting about the entire process and look forward to your continuing posts.<br /><br />I will ask my family and friends to link and repost your pages, as well. I think it's important for people, especially young people, to get an idea of what true farming is about and that there are so many different ways in supporting the small family-owned farms instead of supporting the large corporate farming that is destroying our country-side and our food-supply.<br /><br />I will continue to support your efforts and look forward to future posts!Ernienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109280025743411757.post-80299538494706466752010-08-30T14:08:09.227-04:002010-08-30T14:08:09.227-04:00Yes, I washed the fleece before picking out the VM...Yes, I washed the fleece before picking out the VM last time too, and it took much longer to clean that way. Live and learn, I guess!<br /><br />I'm glad you like the wool you got, though. That's the one part of cleaning the fleece that I DO enjoy: I get to spend hours fondling the wonderful, soft wool!Nancy Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537838536319846967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109280025743411757.post-85095462712712128982010-08-30T12:19:38.493-04:002010-08-30T12:19:38.493-04:00Yes indeed, Nancy...removing the VM is tedious job...Yes indeed, Nancy...removing the VM is tedious job. And thanks for the tip about doing it BEFORE the soak. Guess who didn't do it that way? UGH.<br /><br />Your sheep's fleece is much more gorgeous in person, and so incredible to the touch when handling throughout the spinning process. Love it!Jus Shar Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109354632352608222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109280025743411757.post-25950046334978183352010-08-27T12:15:57.268-04:002010-08-27T12:15:57.268-04:00Very informative.
