Washing...

The next step after buying the mohair curls was to wash it - not very dirty but full of sawdust from the Sheep Goat & Wool Shed floor.  Until I placed some into a bucket of hot water - yes, it is very dirty/dusty/whatever!

Drying in winter is the next thing.  Though we haven't had a very cold winter so far the air remains chilly and the drying time is extended considerably.
