My first wool arrived the other week!!! Super excited about it (although I have a feeling that I ruined some of it. Oh wool, why must you felt?)
Our bathroom smelled like a sheep barn.... mmmm...
After wash #3.... still dirty
What it looks like all brushed out
...and the yarn! Have been blending it with a little of the fiber from my Jersey Wooly rabbits :)
I now understand the joy and excitement that follows when you are able to take raw fiber and turn it into something other than pillow stuffing.

Wow, that's very cool! I've just added something else to my list of things to learn:) I had no idea it looked like that before it's spun:)
I'm sure other wool looks cleaner than what I got.... ended up getting some stuff with a lot of gunk (e.g. brambles, poo, grass) in it-- wanted to start from the 'worst of the worst' and see just exactly how frustrating/rewarding it could be. The bit I spun is a tiny fraction of the amount that I have left to spin. Still carding it out bit by bit.... it's a work in progress but I'm thoroughly enjoying it...
