It's too loosely spun as it is, so I'm going to have to re-spin it before plying with a pretty thread - or something.<BR/>I'm pretty sure Shadow's not a Merino. I wish I could remember what breed Nancy said he was (it's driving me crazy).<BR/>Yes, the Merino fleeces can be HUGE. For shearing this year, I went out and helped (what a blast!) and a neighbor had brought their enormous ewe, Mary, out to be shorn. My gosh...her fleece was GI-NORMOUS! And ohhhh, sooo soft! Shadow's isn't nearly as soft as Mary's (but then...few are!).Fairy Spun Fibershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146091085459384505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078916396980999448.post-14013516107868385042008-11-10T05:57:00.000-06:002008-11-10T05:57:00.000-06:00There's a right and wrong way?

I just do and if looks good and works, it's a done deal :)<BR/>Your yarn looks great, there is nothing better than good mohair, and nothing worse than bad :( If you found a good source, keep it to yourself!!
