Lance has just rung to tell me he has received another three bags of fleece. Sadly I will have to wait for him to get home before I will find out lol. Tease!

New fleece to try
Two weekends ago I was given two rather seedy fleeces in a bag by a chap Lance has got to know very well through his Saturday job. I very quickly washed up a small handful and whipped it through the carder before very quickly spinning it up and doing a test square. It is soft but a tiny bit scratchy so will make great jumpers. Because it was a very quick test you can see there is some blue, grey and white through it. Not a bad blend really from the scraps left on Mum's drum carder lol.

Lovely colour - sounds as if it will be good for outer- wear.
Gosh, it's very dark, isn't it? But I agree with Jillian, it could even be a nice jacket. Is one fleece enough for a jacket? I have no idea.
