tictactoeponyWas using up another day of holiday yesterday - took a trip to Sussex with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
masterofapath to visit a farm that will process wool for spinners (with no minimum amount ;)). Left the fleece that omylouse got me a while back to be processed. This was the really nice, soft Bluefaced Leicester one that, while nice, looks like a bad 80s perm and takes ages to pick apart by hand til in a fit state to card and use.
Have been assured the end result won't be perfect, but still means I should be able to USE it :)
Since we were in the right general area, we visitedluckykaa for tea, chat and making use of local Japanese restaurant of yumminess.

Date: 2008-12-09 03:45 pm (UTC)All came about when I changed my way of thinking from "bah, annoying, will ignore problematic wools" to "if I ask on my spinning mailing list, someone might be able to point me to someone who can help".
It *almost* feels like cheating and not doing the process myself, but to be honest at the rate of progress I was making, it wasn't worth it!
