Arrr ... thank you. So, does that 'top coat' fall out. I thought that it was their new fleece that I had revealed from underneath the old fleece as I removed it.

It could be - hard to know without a photo.

I also have a friend who like to spin and knit the kemp in (she is a bit funny though ) she thinks it adds character to her jumpers.

I knew someone who used to spin in all the bits of grass, thorns, anything into his wool as he was taught that was the way to do it as it adds 'character'. Madness!

There character and there's torture, that sounds like torture.

Exactly.

I collected up all my skeins spun from carded and flick carded fleece of various sorts, none of them would pass the next to skin test. To be honest the first project that comes to mind is a carpet.
