Cormo Lamb Fleece

This is an example of the baby (lamb) cormo fleece I'm working with this week. In the center of the picture is a sample of raw fleece. The raw fleece had to be washed prior to dying it to remove dirt and lanolin. The fleece at the bottom of the picture is what this fleece looked like after I dyed it and let it dry. Then I corespun it into clouds of incredibly soft yarn fluffiness. I just wanted to give a sort of "start to finish" look at what I started with and what the yarn ended up looking like.

I started with about 8 lbs of baby cormo and I've dyed up 6 lbs in various colors. If you're going to be attending any of the fiber events I'm headed to you can definitely expect to see some of these primo skeins there. You won't find them listed in my etsy store since I'm stock piling my handspuns to bring with me to shows. I'll update the store with some of my latest yarns after I get back from Carolina Fiber Fest next month.
