Comments on: Shearing Day at Ewephoria Farm http://thriftyknitter.com/?p=281 devoted to rationalizing my shameful yarn habit Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:59:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Abby http://thriftyknitter.com/?p=281#comment-38792 Abby Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:04:10 +0000 http://thriftyknitter.com/?p=281#comment-38792 Wow, what an absolutely stunning spotted merino fleece. It looks so awesome.

Now that you have a bag of pure, raw fleece, I’m curious as to know how you clean and prepare your fleece for carding or combing. It’s hard to imagine that you would treat that gorgeous spotted fleece to a harsh method of cleaning, but you still need to get the grease out or it will mess up your carder!

I’d be really interested in learning your personal method of doing it.

She might have some more merino fleece. Not sure if she has more spotted ones. The email on the site is kssheep@ewephoria.net.

The ‘before’ and ‘after’ shearing pics are pretty amazing. The poor things look a bit uncomfortable and chilly.
