finished combing Gilligan's fleece. He's a nice Columbia sheep. I got only 1/2 (about 7#) from Lisa.I had tried the Fermented Suint Method of washing. I didn't enjoy that.

He is destined for a weaving project. I'm spinning up worsted style singles to ply. I think it will become a blanket or a throw. I'll need to dye the yarn, but haven't decided yet. I'm thinking of maybe M and O, or a po
int twill. I'll probably change my mind several times. Who knows what the wool will want.
