They are both HUGE. I should fill a mesh bag with a big handfull or two and try the cold soak method. I have not heard of that before. I wanted to scour these at home and just hand card or flick them as I spin, and they both weigh so much that just washing them seems like a daunting task. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, so to speak, and I think the shepard underestimated the weight when he listed them. I'm used to buying fleeces that run six to eight pounds, and when I weighed these bad boys, one weighed just over eleven, and the other one weighs almost fifteen. They are both beautiful colors, but they have me intimidated. <br /><br />Brenda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-50209942051315890142010-07-21T07:57:01.774-07:002010-07-21T07:57:01.774-07:00I believe Judith said that soaking the fleece for ...I believe Judith said that soaking the fleece for several days in cold water would break down the suint...the sweat and dirt in the fleece and would help prepare it for a final scour.
