Ya still need to wash the fleece after shearing to get rid of the sweat,
dirt, and lanolin. But before washing the fleece, you'll also have to skirt
it. (I.e., get rid of the worst wool/messiest wool.)

Skirting a fleece is really messy, so we won't be doing that at Highland
Games. I can show how to use a pair of wool combs & a diz.

hey, wouldn't it be easier to give the stinky
thing a bath BEFORE shearing it?)
