Post Wool
I have 7 feed bags full of raw sheep's wool in my shed. If anyone is interested in learning how to spin and dye wool (or already knows how to do it and can teach me) let me know. I doubt I'm going to have the patience to clean and spin all of it.

Sounds interesting. I could give it a try.

Awright, I have a batch washed. It'll have to be picked and carded and then we can get to spinning. I ordered some carders yesterday and will need to make a trip to Hobby Lobby to pick up materials to make some drop spindles.

Maybe I can bring all of the stuff out to the tournament and anyone who's interested can give it a try.

Beware! I heard a story of a girl that pricked her finger on a spinning wheel...

Got my carders in this week and managed to get a little bit of wool spun.
