I have spent the last two days sorting and skirting the natural colored fleeces.
Mike has made the job much easier by building me a new skirting table.
As you can see it does a great job of letting second cuts and debris fall through.
You can also see that sorting and skirting the fleeces is a messy job.
The natural colored fleeces are done! I put the individual, picked fleeces in plastic bags for short term storage. I will start washing them tonight.
I can't tell you how much easier this job was with the new skirting table, I love it!

DeleteDo you spin? I have a wheel but have yet to learn. Wish one of the spinning bloggers lived nearby.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do spin. I had a wheel for many years before I actually learned. the internet has some great tutorial videos. I have done a lot more spinning in the past year.
DeleteHi I am new to your page and not sure how I missed it up until now. I love the skirting table and may have to make one right away! I am drowning in wool bags. I chose your post as my feature on From the Farm Hop this week. Since you totally inspired me to make my life with wool easier to deal with. Thank you! You are invited to grab the feature button and I hope you come back and link up again this week. - Janet Garman @Timbercreekfarm http://timbercreekfarmer.com
