I have more than 3 bags full of wool - I have 4, or 5, possibly a couple more. These all need to be sent off to the wool mill for processing, because carding bothers my carpal tunnel to the point that I can't function.
THe question: Should I send them all off at once - or should I space it out? The bags are as follows:
White alpaca fleece, with a cormo fleece.
Black alpaca (suri) straight on 7 POUNDS of prime fleece)
The most beautiful caramel alpaca I've ever felt, with a CA Red fleece in with it.
A steel gray alpaca, with a gray CVM fleece that is sooooo soft.
And a border leicester fleece that's been hanging out on it's own.
Plus I may or may not have a shetland fleece in the mail. I am taking the 5th on that.
Now these are older fleece, all the wool has been washed, but it needs to be used. I just can't decide what to do. All or one? All or none? AUGH! I think I may send off the white, and the black to see how they turn out. I just don't know. I am great at most decisions but not ones involving fleece into roving evidently. Sigh.
I vote to send off the two you are most eager to get your fingers into. Then you can send the others later.
ReplyDeleteCan't help you with that problem. It is a problem I would like to have come up in my life at some point, though.
