First Mill Processed Fleece

I sent my first fleece off to Stonehedge Fiber Mill in East Jordan MI a couple weeks ago.  Last night UPS pulled into the drive way and there was my fleece.  It is a beautiful alpaca fleece and it is so soft and downy.  Ready to spin or recard into batts with add in's if I decide to do that.

I love it!  I had always bought a raw fleece, spreaded it out, tried to pull anything that needed to be pulled out, then washed and washed and washed!  Spread it out on window screens and hoped I did not felt any of it.  This was so easy and less stressful!

Already thinking about sending a Jacob fleece off to them!
