Fleece Scouring
I finally received a fleece worthy of the title....gross. Oh the family was real happy with me. The house smelled like barnyard. After 3 washes in Kookaburra wool scour(which I love), I was still getting mud. So, i decided to soak the other half of the fleece in a cold water bath till the next day. I still had to wash this fleece 3 times, 2 rinses, dye pot, another rinse. And finally a clean, dyed fleece. I do believe I have been spoiled with coated sheeps fleece. This one has beautiful locks, and it is very soft for a long wool. Although, I am not sure if it will be worth the cost, effort, time, and product taken to clean this one. Just as soon as the fleece is dry, I will weigh and see how much weight it lost in grease and mud. I do have some pictures for you...
