…I deliver. Meet Star:
Star is a Ramboulet/Corriedale cross, light grey with a lovely crimp and so, so soft. She will soon be taking a road trip to be processed – but first I need to do a bit of skirting since I purchased her ‘lightly skirted’. I may or may not have grabbed her out of the grasp of someone who looked to me like they would not love her like I will. *ahem*
What will I be making with her? Yarn. After that? Who knows? ;o)
Oh and Friday is May 1 and the day I’m allowed to pull my next pair of ‘Personal Sock Club’ socks, I can hardly wait!
I know that I do not know what I am talking about when it comes to fleeces, but that looks absolutely lovely.

Very pretty! Love the honey/gold bits. Has she met Steve? Where is Steve?
That’s a gorgeous fleece. Who is going to process it for you?

Me likey. After I throw away my bag of awfulness that was my first purchases fleece, I may try another one similar to yours. It’s not that the fleece was bad, it’s that it came back still dirty and kinda shrunken.

I, for one, am glad that Star went to a truly loving home. Please please remember to give us pictures after she returns home from her Spa Retreat to freshen up!
Beautiful fleece! That is going to make some nice yarn. Look at that crimp. You made a great choice.

She’s lovely!
You should do it yourself. Then I can follow in your footsteps when (if) I’m ready.
I’m glad someone is looking forward to pulling more yarn. *L*

Oooo. My hands could enjoy a vacation in that!

I met Star. I smelt Star. I love Star! She sure is lovely close up! Where do you get your stuff processed? I do have one more in the basement that’s creamy and grey like Star.
I know nothing of pre-yarn fiber, except to be able to tell a sheep from a goat. But that looks really cool, and it sounds like you are going to enjoy it a lot. Have fun!
Brenda’s last blog post..Lace: A FO and a WIP
I don’t know anything about that fiber but the colors look amazing. I am going to Argentina and Chile next week for two weeks – not that I need to buy any more yarn, but any idea on what may be really nummy to try and find to bring home?
That is really pretty. I don’t know a lot about fleeces, but I don’t think I have ever seen one with that many color variations.

Hehe ripping it out of another woman’s hands…filene’s basement style..I can just picture it.
So I guess your SO now knows that Star has moved in with you?
