After some conversation with Linda, I tried a new tact to clean the fleece. I filled a plastic tub with cool water, put it in the bathtub, and then added the fleece making sure it could float freely. This lead to very dirty water after soaking overnight. This morning I emptied it out on the grass and filled the tub back up with cool water to soak again today.
Tonight I'll add some hot water and soap before rinsing and drying. Another friend had an absolutely beautiful Wensleydale fleece that came out pure white when she cleaned it so that is what I was expecting. Mine is a mixture of Perendale/Romney/Coopworth with a very nice small crimp. After the first cleaning, it is actually quite pretty.
