there is a light from within. -- Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

Subject: [Steppes] getting fleeced


A fiber-oriented friend at work has offered to me some fleeces.  I don't
spin, but know that someone out there does.  If you are interested,
please contact me offline at kmcalhou at garlandisd.net .  The fleeces
currently reside in Garland, but arrangements can be made for their
transportation.

Details about the fleeces are below.  Please feel free to pass this info
on to other persons that may be interested.

Happy fleecing.

all fleece is complete with dirt and grease as it was shorn off the
sheep stored in newspaper and paper boxes to avoid felting Needs to be
soaked in hot water and sunlight dishwashing liquid for the best effect.
Then rinse in warm water and vinegar
