Fleece Fun

 

Fleece purchased this Christmas from a farm here in TN, great for art yarns and spinning, the lambs wool is next to skin soft! I like to keep a log of my purchases as it helps me remember when I'm washing/spinning and using the wool in various ways. I always love the way this shepherds fleeces come and they all take dye so well.
