What a wonderfully furry piece!
Thanks, Rachel!
LOVE this Heather! It's making me want to go play with raw fleeces :)

Oh, how I love your raw wool fleeces!
One day I will be brave enough to attempt to make one. I'm always so afraid everything will felt.
Deborah and Andrea--Thanks! It's nice to work on a smaller raw fleece project...rather than a rug! :)
This is so Groovy! It makes me think of the 60's. And I love anything old...like me.
I am just sitting sipping my drink and taking a look-see at what everyone is up too.
