Washing Wool

 Our friends offered to help with washing wool and hang out and play while we cleaned a fleece.  Great conversation and many hands make fast light work!


Fleece in a bag

2 Washes in hot water and dish soap close to 150 degrees but not lower than 110 for 20 minutes a wash.

Many hands

wash-a-wash-a

laid out to dry

and ready to card and spin or felt


This method is the norm and resulted in a fleece that was fluffy and soft
