The Fleece Wool

We selected a high lustre long fibre 6 - 7". The fibre was superb - that strong Romney type with a beautiful crimp 31-33 micron. This type of fleece wool is easy to wash clean for dyeing without so much danger of felting or matting during the process.

Washing

Using a mixture of detergent and hot soapy water take a portion of the fleece wool and gently squeeze it through the water until it is clean. Rub the tips of the staples to remove the dirt. Next rinse the fibre in clean hot water and place it in the dyepots.

The Method

This is the exciting part.
Large dyepots with the capacity to hold 1lb so you are able to put three layers of the wool into each dyepot.

Results!

tip each pot out onto a large piece of plastic mesh to drain.

WOW! - Each pot is so beautiful.

The most exciting fact about the batch of dyed wool is each pot - all the colours are dyed in the same hue so they all look perfect together! One lot is bright and vivid, one very rich Persian shades, others variations - wonderful!
