Washed and Ready Wool!

The sun has been shining and temps 

have been in the upper 70's and lower 80's 

for the past two days... 

I'd call it perfect weather for washing raw wool

and laying it out in the sun to dry!  

That is a lot of folk art doll hair!

Raw Wool

I (Daryle) had forgotten how much work 
it is to take raw lamb's wool from the farm... 
to the ready-to-use stage!  Friends and I 
stopped by a local farm this week 
to purchase some "tropical milkweed" plants, 
for attracting butterflies in our gardens.  
Spotting the farm family's sheep... 
I ended up buying some raw wool as well!
