TDF July 22

Finally did my sample for the next breed and plied the other half oz of for the whimsy. This time chain plied. Didn't get them into the bath tonight but I did wash myself and start the dishwasher so that's good!

The first load of fleece (about 1/3rd) has been washed. Lanolin dissolves in water thats 60C, but wool doesn’t like hot temperature or sudden temperature changes otherwise it’ll felt. So it’s important to keep the water hot across the baths & to only gently paddle the wool to encourage lanolin/urine/sweat/dirt/etc to come out with the soap. There is 1-2 rinse baths after the scour baths, which isn’t shown, just to get any remaining soap out.

happy spring equinox to everyone in the northern hemisphere and happy autumn equinox to everyone in the southern

i have been in a spring mood with my yarn, drop spindle spinning 100 grams of perendale fibre, which couldn't be drafted and spun at the same time for some reason and i had to park and draft with but still came out lovely and soft feeling
