Well it’s almost a full year since I sent it off for spinning, but at long last the wool skeins have now arrived!  All the wool is worsted spun from selected first clips, and very dark and lustrous. Most is DK weight, some we ordered as Aran weight. About half of the DK will go to pay for Hebridean lambs we bought last year.  We really could do with either more sheep or access to more wool to buy!

‘Trouble up’ mill’ meant they didn’t start our wool until a month or more ago, by which time we were actually able to add fleeces from this year’s clip!! Unfortunately that means the wool we now have left to sell (after paying for the lambs) has got to last us even longer.
