I found a fleece market day a few hours from home, and omg I had such a good time. There was so much to look at and touch and smell! I came home with 3 fleeces: a dark grey merino cross, a middle brown moorit (@milkweedman was it you who likes moorit?), and a section of piebald superfine merino!

I've never bought whole fleeces before, I'm so excited to spin it up. I keep dreaming of jumpers, but need to get started on spinning before I dream too big.

I started washing locks of the merino cross tonight, trying to maintain lock structure for semi-worsted spinning, but we'll see if that lasts, there's a lot of locks XD I'm also not sure how much lanolin I've actually removed lol, so will have a check in the morning and see.

25-11-2023, part one:

I got my first whole fleece! It's from a Walliser Schwarznase (Walliser Blacknose). I already got rid of all the dirty and matted parts (pictured is the whole fleece before cleaning), and I took the very dirty edges off to do an experiment on cleaning.

The length of the fibers is +- 10 cm and the locks are very soft. There is quite a bit of vegetable matter, but I think that's to be expected. Look at those curls though! So pretty! I'm thinking about keeping some locks to use as texture while spinning.

Currently I'm scouring some of the dirty sides in warm water and dish soap, to see if they can be used for a test spin. A lot of brown water has been discarded already, so it looks to be cleaning up nicely. I hope it won't mat :)

The rest of the fleece has been rolled up in an old blanket and stored for now, untill the test spin has been done.

Now I have to see if I can borrow a carder from someone (or hand cards), so I can try to spin some up! (Once it is clean and dry, that is). Goal will probably be to spin a sweather out of this.

Updates wil follow in the next days/weeks! I'm very excited :D

So I recently went to two fiber festivals and now have six fleeces in my house that are varying degrees of stinky and need to be processed. I have a project deadline coming up, so of course my brain decides now is a ~great time~ to procrastinate and wash a stinky fleece!

Here is a Jacob fleece that I picked up for the sole purpose of seeing if I could spin each color in the coat separately, then weave it back together into something with both colors. I took lots of video of the washing process but Tumblr mobile is a nightmare so I'm going to have the stick with stills.

The first step was separating the black and white sections from each other. I couldn't remember if the fleece had been skirted (had all the really horrible bits and poop removed) because I bought it in a novelty-induced dopamine haze, but it turns out it was! So that was lucky. I ended up having a lot of locks that were both black and white, so I made a third pile of mixed locks that I didn't feel like separating further.

Next was the washing/scouring, which I did in a plastic tub in my backyard. The fleece wasn't incredibly dirty but still immediately released a bunch of brown muck in the water when I submerged it.

Wet fleece!!

I did two 20-minute soaks with the hottest tap water I could get and Power Scour (I actually have more of that than Dawn dish soap in my house rn), then a 20 minute rinse soak in hot water. I spun it out and laid it out to dry on this nifty herb drying rack thing.

It was dry enough to work with today and I couldn't resist combing out some of each color. I think it looks pretty neat!

I think I'm going to comb the rest of the fleece because I really like spinning from combed top, and I'll probably make it worsted for easier weaving. I'm waiting on the final weights of each color before deciding what draft to do.

I WENT INSANE (positive) and i made little ocs based off all the fleeces i’m cult of the lamb (these are all first drafts btw)

the basic idea is that they were all sheep that were killed when the bishops decided to,…kill all the sheep basically. i do have more details about each of them but i’ll share those when i finalize their design :)

somehow i always assume there will be a chart for something i want on ravelry, despite the fact that there absolutely never is and i always have to chart my own thing

anyway, im charting single color sheep designs today. i might try to knit them as test squares for my blanket just to see how they turn out first...

#of the sheep i found they were all 2 colors--white for the wool and black for the face and legs #which would be great but i only have one color #i dont want to spin any more of this right now ... if i was desperate i could probably look for light gray locks in the fleece but i dont #think i left any. those were usually cleaner than the normal gray so i pulled those first #anyway. i have charted 1 sheep so far #now i have to go to work tho :(#fair isle #southdown babydoll #sock knitting

Weekends of 2-12-2024 and 11-12-2023, part four:

It took me a long time to write up the next installment in the series, but here I am! Only four months later!

Anyway, the weekend of the 2nd of december was for carding. I texted a friend of mine who has a drumcarder, and luckily enough I was able to borrow it for a few weeks. The first weekend I carded the first half (partly scoured, partly soaked overnight). Part of that (the scoured stuff) I used for a dyeing experiment with food colouring:

The blue turned out very pale and kind of a blue to green gradient, which I ended up spinning as a thick 3-ply. The purple/red ended up kind of blood coloured? At least that is what it reminds me of, this is still unspun. Conclusion: blue does not like to exhaust, get better dyes.

I also did some testspins and swatches:

On the left pic is a small test I did to see if I liked the way I cleaned and carded the wool. Of the swatches, on the left is a 3-ply (chainply), right is a two ply (I think, I did not note it down). I ended up chosing the two ply, as it is a bit more supple and I like the airiness of it better.

I decided that I wanted a bit more lanolin in it while spinning, so the other half I carded straight from the fleece during the second weekend:

There were so many stubborn locks! Since I didn't open up the locks before hand, I had to do so while carding. I ended up gathering clumps of curls in my hand and running them allong the carder to open them up. I carded each bat again to get rid of most of the clumps.

Now to start spinning and knitting! Thanks for following along!
