Tonight is fleece a-washin' evenin' in the old clothes washer.

I'm just doing a final rinse now on about half an off-white Border Leicester fleece that I bought at the NYSWF in Rhinebeck in the fall (2007) that I've been dying to work with.  This is the first time I've used my washing machine for this process, but it seems to be working beautifully in the "soak and spin" method.  Will post details and a few pics tomorrow.  I hope to make a fleece washing tutorial out of this so I took pictures through the whole process.

My spin cycle just finished, so I'm back to spread the locks out to dry, then off to my wheel for some plying and then spinning some of these batts I've been making lately!  Craig is watching old Dr. Who episodes on the TIVO without me, so I've got to run before he starts another, aargh!
