Do people store fleece in grease as is? It looks like they do. but for some learning purposes it will do.
it was white indeed
from this
to locks
So I did test wash a small amount, 50-60ge worth each bag. The free fleece... looks better than the one I've paid for the other year as a part of a group buy, did not get lucky and got one before the last number... all the good stuff was gone by that time, should have just picked the medium fleece and do not do that finer fleece.
carding it did not end up in the best quality fiber, that's what I mean. I'll see what yarn can be done from it. lace singles if plied n-ply can hide many things, all I can do is see what will happen next
that neppy stuff reminds me of polypay. I got a polypay and was disappointed at all the neps it had. but it was a nice soft fleece but tough to spin on my russian spindle. so i ended up spinning it on my kromski minstrel. eventually i blended some of the polypay with angora. turned out nice and lofty.
ReplyDeleteyes. that's what I'm doing. I'm spinning soft yarn, long draw, 3-ply. it has loft and I'm picking the neps as I go, the ugliest ones :)
