Some of you may remember that I wrote a post at the end of February listing all my raw Fleece that needed to be washed or tossed.
Its now one month later so I thought that I would give you a quick update. Spinning in the last month has amounted to nearly a kilo and I did take a photo before popping it into the 'waiting to wash bag' which has unfortunately disappeared into the ether.
The weather suddenly turned warm so I took the opportunity to wash all my recent handspun from this year together with some knitwear and get it all out onto the line.
I have more fibre prepped and ready to spin .
The stock list currently looks like this, I'm really pleased with the progress so far.
