Anyone up for spinning that fleece?  Not sure the link works.

Poor sheep - he can only waddle.  I think the fleece will either be spun by a hundred hand spinners, or made into Italian suits.   Or they could do the biggest wool bombing from one sheep ever.

I guess it's surprising he hasn't shed some himself. He must not only be hot but fed up with carrying all that weight. Poor Sheepy.  :sheep:

He won't know himself when that lot comes off. I'd love to have a try at spinning some of the fleece. It looks lovely.
