[Jacob-list] washing wool

[Gillian Fuqua]

	I sort my wool prior to washing.  I would think that it would be 
harder to sort post washing.  some fleeces seem to lend themselves to 
sorting better than others do.  I have found that I get some nice 
white, some nice dark and some lovely in between stuff.  I have found 
Jacob fleece very easy to wash.
	Keep those lambing stories coming.  Up here in the arctic, aka VT, we 
are not expecting lambs until early April.  -13 this morning, lambing 
stories let me know that it will warm up some time!  I think for 
Victoria the key to my first lambing season was having someone who I 
could send lots of questions to.  I'm on season two and felling calmer. 
  My girls really did not seem to want me around when they lambed.  I 
heard one grunting as I came up to the barn and when I got to where I 
could peek she was standing up eating.  When I rechecked in 3 hours she 
was the proud mama of a ewe lamb.
