Thank you for this great video! After all of the research that I've done on this, you are one of only a handful of people on UA-cam that follow the best practices of scouring. I appreciate seeing the process in action!
That herb drying rack is a grand idea! Thanks for showing us your process, it looks so simple yet effective. Your son's sheep must be brilliant to get such gorgeous wool from them!
Hi, yes the herb rack works really well, stops the wool from blowing away. The sheep are lovely, most of them are really friendly and enjoy a chin scratch 😊
I watched this lovely series twice about 3 months ago thinking "thats so fascinating! I'm just a knitter with no interest in any of this, but what lovely videos!" ...and I have spun up about 15 oz on spindles since the first week of the year, and have my first raw fleece arriving this week. I'm not going to say it was your fault, but... I sure hope you post more videos 💗
I have recently gotten some alpaca fleece, but it had a cement amo7nt of easy to spot Vegetable Matter… will this come out with washes or is it something more you have to hand pick out ? Do you know ?
Hi, I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with alpaca fleece. I try to pick out any obvious VM before washing. I find that any small bits that are left will fall out during the various other stages of preparation. Most will come out during washing, carding and spinning

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found it useful
This has convinced me that I need a spin dryer. That Dorset wool is lovely. 🥰

Thank you so much for this video. I have a box of 2 Welsh fleeces from a just waiting for this first stage of the process.
Thanks for watching 😊. I hope all goes well with your scouring and you get some beautiful Welsh yarn from it
Thank you for taking the time to share your process with us!
You are welcome!

Oh wow that’s awesome!! So glad I’ve inspired you to start on your spinning journey. Have fun with your fleece 😃
Great video, great angles and great products! We process our own sheep wool too ...very satisfying to know the ewe that it's come from 😊
Thank you, it is definitely a very satisfying process 🐑🧶
Yeah. Of course
Great Video thank you so much!
