White Border Leicester fleece purchased from the CT S&W 2007.
Dyed and carded and spindled some locks. The rest went to be processed.
Spin, spin, spin.
Ply, ply, ply.
Mr. Sheep was knit with the turkish spindled yarn.
Wash, rinse, squeeze.
Another squeeze and dry.
750 yards give or take.
Phew! I'm exhausted all that work! Good for you.
