Our Nebelung friend

Navajo Churro fleece

Raw wool. I don't remember the breed, but it's very soft and springy.

Unwashed and washed.

It's really soft and lovely. Still a bit of vegetable matter, but this should come out easily.

On Friday it was 80 degrees, sunny and very windy.
I spent the day clearing out old dried up branches, stems and leaves from the awakening garden.

I practiced felting a scarf made from Navajo Churro fleece with a base of merino wool. These pictures are bad, but the fleece scarf is shaggy, curly and beautiful.
Today is cold, snowy and fresh.
