I'm a middle-aged mother of three grown kids. I'm finally an empty-nester, but I'll admit to enjoying my kids' company.

Fiber!

No matter where I look in my house, it seems that I have fiber needing some form of processing. Of course, at the moment, the largest batch of it is the wool I received from from Jewel Lane Farms in Stacy, MN. It's from Hampshire sheep and is destined for two uses. 1) a mini ger from my Doxie and 2) a felting class for children at our local Barony's SCA event, WW (Warriors and Warlords).

Sooner or later, I'm going to have to tackle the 12 pounds of fleece. I'm just not looking forward to the task. It takes so much HOT water.

I also have the Jacob fleece from last year's Shepherd's Harvest festival. It's half a fleece. Christine Hoyt has the other half. I think hers is in the same state as mine. Well, maybe not quite the same state, but I'd bet it's unwashed. Mine is residing in the freezer until I get to it.

I also have 4 pounds of the softest rambouillet. It's lovely fleece.
