Thought I'd better post my most recient spin. I recived this raw fiber from a sweet friend (Jill in Brooklyn) I think she said it was a 4H project. It was very dark with dirt and washed up nicely. I took about 3 hand fulls and washed it in the machine or rather soaked it then spun it then rinsed it about the same amount. I have plenty of it so will continue to wash and spin. Cant wait as i plan on dyeing it after spinning and making me some socks with it!!! Thanks Jill your a wonderful friend! Huggs All
