Went to the Carolina Fiber Fest in Sanford, NC. Hope to purchase some kid mohair fleece, but instead I found quite a bit of Finnsheep fleece. I purchased a Border Leicester/Finn Cross that was dark brown and two white Finn fleeces. On wash day, I separated the locks and loosely stitched them into net pouches to wash them. Unlike the kid mohair I’m used to, the Finn felts very easily. Maybe there will be an application for that in the future. I wound up drum carding the fibers, then pulling roving from the drum. Here are the results. See them on Etsy too!
