How To Skirt A Fleece - STEP 1: How to Process Fiber Series

Hello! I am so excited for this new series on how to process fiber! This series is going to include both wool and alpaca and they will be labeled as such in separate videos. Just check out the "How to Process Fiber Series" Playlist on my channel and there you will find all the tutorials you need as I upload them!

I’m glad you’ve made videos. I’ll go look for more.

Thanks. I’d never heard of skirting a fleece nor a skirting table.

I thought I'll wait until after I have moved before even starting to process the raw fleece I was given, but now I am worried about what condition it is in as it has been in a bucket for several months already! I guess I could wash the fleece bit by bit in a bucket and use a salad spinner, but where to skirt or dry it? Living in a shared household with people, any communal space is out of the question. (Toilet is even smaller than the one in this video.)

I guess clean "trash wool" is still ok to use as stuffing in pet toys if not in pillows?

Can you link to the space saver bags that work best for you? There are so many bags that are total duds or only work once or twice. Thanks!
