grace the alpaca

its filthy, dirty, stinky...and so totally lovely, that I'm cheering it on to dry quickly so that i may spin it. interesting that it took about 3 times as many baths to scour this fleece...which will take me a week because I'm using the one pot method. See, with children around, a huge stinky soapy tub of fleece just isn't a good idea...for so many reasons...don't get me started. so one pot, with a handful of gorgeous locks and squeezable softness gets washed...that way i can keep a good eye on it and let it whisper to me its favored fate. so far, grace, wants nothing to do with sparkle, and most certainly nothing to do with that Romney or polypay...so maybe she'll be pure. a sweet simple knit for the warmest mittens, or baby longies.
