Today, I finally completed the sorting process. I have some interesting observations:
1. I was able to use the wool grading examples I created when I took the judges seminar at the Maryland Wool and Sheep festival. It was neat to trust my hands and eyes. I think I have enough of fine, medium and coarse to complete the study.
2. Although Aurora is single coated, there were some places (see just behind her neck in photo and near her britch area) that had much longer locks along with the shorter ones. (dual coated?). She is 7 years old and i know fleeces change with age. It is still a beautiful fleece and I love working with it.
3. The is a great variety of length, crimp and color. I hope I can use the natural colors for the jumper pattern and the weaving.
