Is the ball the entire fleece?
@ShearGoodness 19 күн бұрын
One ball is half a fleece. To spin an entire fleece, it's usually two bobbins on the Ashford e Spinner Super Jumbo.

Thank you for this informative video. I want to make a simple alpaca doona/duvet and will need to hand-tie it to secure the lofty batting. Your quilts are beautiful. I particularly liked the first one made from upcycled shirts.
@ShearGoodness 22 күн бұрын
Thank you. I would like to try alpaca someday. For now, I have a lot of Babydoll and Shetland. I love the more lofty batting. It is slower to hand tie, of course, but worth it.

This video was amazing thank you so much! It used to take me at least half the day, but since i started using your bucket method (plus after buying a spin dryer) its made it a MUCH more enjoyable experience! Im so excited about it!

I would say about one hour to wash an entire fleece this way. Dry time varies based on weather. Skirting is the slowest part for me, lots of debris to pick out, lol. I agree, the washing is more enjoyable.

Why not use more water? Is there a reason?
@ShearGoodness Ай бұрын
The wool really expands a lot when you first submerge it into the water. I think that's why it may appear like too little water. But I do have an electric water heater, so no sense in using too much either. Thanks for the question.

I think it would be safer to use the powder that they use at groomers’ instead. It also makes me sick because those are the exact revlon tweezers I use for myself. Seriously though, use the powder that dries the yucky stuff and makes it less painful. Washing the ears afterwards would be a good idea too because you’re not getting the area fully cleaned.

This is great. Love that you don't need specialized cleaners or specialized cleaning equipment, just practical "Whatever you have on hand" items. Learning so much from your videos. We are considering getting a few Sheep for our small farm and being there is no Adult "4H" programs, this is a great way to learn. Always thought the Lanolin would help the Shearing blades, surprised to know it does not.

Do you fast them prior to shearing in a stand or is it not necessary since they are standing?
@ShearGoodness 3 ай бұрын
Excellent question. If you are solely using the stand, you wouldn't need to fast them. However, when I finish on the stand, I transfer them into a deck chair for a few minutes to trim their hooves and trim their bellies (Southdown breeds). So they will be tipped back for a few minutes. If I shear in evening after work, I will withhold their evening meal until we are done. On a weekend, I will feed them, wait a bit, and then shear all day, followed by bedtime feeding.

Love your tutorial videos, thank you! In this video, you recommend to throw away unusable parts of the fleece into the trash. If I may suggest something, as a gardener, don't throw away those pieces, but use them in your garden as mulch. Tomatoes love it, and almost all other vegetables who need a lot of water and fertilizer, too. If you have excess unusable pieces from the fleece, put it in your compost pile. It will add to the quality of your compost and within one year, you'll have wonderful compost soil to use with your pot plants and in the garden beds. I don't own sheep, but I am fortunate to get fleeces from my neighbor's flock of german heathen sheep, mostly usable for felting. I love all wool related processes.
@ShearGoodness 3 ай бұрын
Thank you. Yes, I have heard of people using the wool as mulch too. I have added some wool and sheep hoof trimmings into the compost. It didn't break down very well for me, but I believe if I gave it more time it would. I don't typically mulch because our soil is so clay and retains too much water. I also have heard birds using it for their nests. Another idea is bedding for cats. My cats absolutely love sleeping on it. But I would want to wash it for the cats. Thanks for watching.

You are so amazing and knowledgeable! I just started with sheep. This was my first year attempting to shear. Oh my....I have watched so many videos and have read articles on this. Nothing is like the real thing. I have a hard time rolling them over, so tried on the stand. I got a few nicks and their wool is so unevenly sheared.😮 Now I'm leary to finish my last ones. Suggestions?
@ShearGoodness 4 ай бұрын
Hello, I can totally relate to you. It is challenging and, like most things, is harder in real life. I also have a hard time physically restraining them, which is why I prefer my stand and deck chairs. We do shearing as a two person job. I suggest a stand and deck chairs for shearing. For nicks, try a 20 tooth comb, keep the skin taught and not loose or wrinkly, and keep on hand some vet glue. As for uneven, don't be too hard on yourself! Unless they are in a show ring at a fair, they don't need to be perfect. Some of the unruly sheep, we are just happy to get the job accomplished, period. Make sure the cutter is sharp of course, don't shear when it's damp.

How do you make the batting? Do you felt it to make smaller bats stay together?
@ShearGoodness 5 ай бұрын
I actually lay the smaller batts along each other with no felting. The hand ties will keep it from shifting around, similar to machine quilting. It will not be as tight as machine quilting, but you can increase the number of hand ties if you are concerned. It is so lofty that it will not fit for machine quilting. I like it that way though!
