Look what I have! The new drum carder arrived this lunchtime and I've been playing ever since.
The fleece is a Shetland in Moorit colour. I must say, this wool is quite unlike the prepared Shetland fleece I bought on eBay a few weeks ago. I think this one must have had a fright or something. The staple is very short and extremely crimpy - the one from eBay was quite long and luxurious. Also, there is still a lot of grease in this fleece, even though I've washed it twice. I hope Jack can do something with it. I'm not even sure what it should look like - I'm quite new to spinning, it is very soft which, I'm sure must be good.
