Do you think that is normal or is it just the fleece I am working with?Ercilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011350746552050921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347982.post-50597061231111756132009-04-25T10:52:00.000-07:002009-04-25T10:52:00.000-07:00One suggestion, if you plan to comb it sort out th...One suggestion, if you plan to comb it sort out the fleece so you comb the shoulder, neck and partway down the blanket and card the britch and back half of the blanket separately. BWMS are variable across the fleece and if you need a combed top that is the best way to do it. <br /><br />I'm playing with some commercially prepared combed tops we had done and getting a nice 40wpi worsted yarn from it. FIrst skein being rinsed and drying now. I plan to weave with it.Oogie McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497545190647459093noreply@blogger.com
