That's it - no more fleeces this year!

Having found some space for my latest fleeces in the garage, I have come to the conclusion (with enthusiastic encouragement from my partner!) that I need to call a halt to the acquisition of any more fleeces until I have processed at least some of the ones I already have - I find, on doing a stock-take, that I have 17 fleeces, which is, by any standards, excessive!  The trouble is, I find it so hard to say no to the opportunity of acquiring exciting rare breed fleeces...I did, heroically, turn down a Jacob and a Balwen today - very traumatic, but I think domestic relations might become a bit strained if I promptly go back on my decision to call a halt!  Not to mention the fact that we are likely to be moving house before too much longer, and the prospect of moving all these fleeces might not thrill the removals company...There's always next year, sheep are not suddenly going to stop producing wool between now and then, and I have MORE than enough fleeces to keep me occupied, both for spinning and feltmaking, in the meanwhile.  If we get some sunshine soon (please?!), let the scouring commence!
