[Jacob-list] Karakul fleece

[BISCHOW at aol.com]

I have to agree that with most Karakul fleeces I have  seen, combs are the 
"way to go".  That said, one of the most awesome  fleece I have ever spun was a 
Karakul/Cotswold cross.  I spun it in  the grease and then washed the yarn.  
Very  pretty! 
The Karakul will make a beautiful rug when crocheted or  knitted and then 
felted.


 
We were in SantaFe last weekend.  We drove up to Taos  on Sunday.  I had to 
drool over the RioGrande wheel again.  Boy, what  a production wheel!  The lady 
that created it once spun 1000#--1/2 a  TON--of wool for her sister for 
weaving warp over a weekEND!!!!  It can be  used for lace-weight on up to rug yarn!
