Fleece Invasion!

Every day for the past week or two, I've had boxes of fleece delivered to the house. They're starting to take over! It's all for a great cause though: my "Are Ewe Well-Bred?" fleece study is alive and rolling!

So far, I have these fleeces in my house:

3 California Reds, 3 Shetlands, 2 Rambouillets, 2 Cheviots, 3 Gulf Coast Natives, 1 CVM, 1 Jacob, 2 Black Welsh Mountain Sheep, and about 15 more bags full of miscellaneous wool that I've acquired over the past few weeks from local farmers.

Where do I keep it all?

In the hall of my studio:

And in the basement:

(here, you can see the Jacob fleece)


(this is one of the Rambouillets spread out for inspection):

And in the studio kitchen (California Red that I'm cold soaking)

And in the studio (California Red drying)

Doesn't it look like a whole bunch of fun?!
