Jay gave me Izzy’s fleece when he brought her back after having her shorn. Turns out much of it is in good shape. Jon and I skirted it yesterday. We had to throw a lot out, some of it was matted or just too hard to pick the brambles out of. But we got about seven pounds of good wool.
I’m getting in touch with Deb at the Vermont Fiber Mill today to see if I can ship it to her and have it processed with the other wool we dropped off last weekend. If so, I may decide to mix it with Socks’ wool as my friend Suzy suggested. Then I’ll have a new kind of yarn to sell in the fall.
How nice you got that wool. Izzy is so black!! Her wool should make a beautiful combo. So happy to see her settling in with all the others so nicely!
Izzy must feel so good after getting all that wool off of her! And the brambles and barbed wire! Oh my!
