uninspiring bags of fleece!!

Here's the bags of fleece ready to pack & send off for millspinning but I'll keep some on one side for some soothing handspinning! Next week Arnside for some rare breed Whitefaced Woodland fleeces & down to Conder Green for some Blue Texel --- new one this.

Morecambe Bay scintillating in the summer sun!
At last sheep are shorn & fleeces available to collect.First stop Yealand Conyers to collect 6 lovely curly Masham fleeces from Barbara & Joan & then on to Silverdale for a quick snack on the shore (see above)  it looked so beautiful as we munched  our lunch (cheese & pickle this time & more  ginger beer),then into Silverdale to pick up from Martin a mixed lot of North Country Cheviot,Bluefaced Leicester,Jacobs/Texel X & 4 of the 'special ones' Cheviot/Bluefaced Leicester X  first clip so these will be beautifully soft! All in all about 50kgs of fleece.Back down the motorway accompied by a very sheepy fragrance!!
