new Blueface ewes

I bought two bluefaced leicesters and they had a full fleece. Oh Boy!I am having so much fun with the fleece. I figured out how to wash it keeping the locks so I can use it with my wooly Love Ewes - the Felted Ewes I have been making for years. I started making them with my border leicester fleeces - but making them with blues fleeces really make them really woolie eweonderful!! Like WoW! Check out my web site in the next couple of weeks and I explain the secret of washing locks - LOL It is so simple - I don't know why I didn't do it sooner! It is so cool to watch the tips of the wool dry and the tinyist little curls show up on the ends.
