Ah, you seem to have encountered some additional neeps in your fleece :-)

Finding it easier with some stuff I carded rather than just grabbing a chunk and going for it. There's still a bit of swearing when I have to join a new bit on though!

All plied up - I'll take this for a first effort

What next? Hot water and a bit of washing-up liquid to get the grease out and set it?

That looks really good for your first spinning. Yes, wash in very hot water plus soap of some sort, I usually wash fleece using washing up liquid. Rinse in similar temperature water, squeeze water out then roll in a towel and stamp on it a bit to get rid of more water, let it dry then admire the results of your efforts!
