Now I need to learn how to properly clean the fleece I bought at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. The fleece is about 6 pounds and a mix of Perendale/Romney/Coopworth. I put some of the raw fleece in a lingerie bag and made sure the water was very hot before immersing the bag. Wow, the first wash water was really very brown so I washed it again and then again. After rinsing, it went on a sweater dryer to really dry.
Ohh, now I need to meet with Linda again to see why the fleece is still a little yellow. Guess I need a lesson on washing fleece. I remember years ago, I washed a fleece on my own but I think I read too much on the web as to how to wash fleeces. Sometimes, too much knowledge will overwhelm you.
