Thanks. Little, but a lot of walking in those things.

Considering what it looked like raw, I was gobsmacked. It will be interesting to see how that translates in the dye pot if and when the time comes. Cheers.

I think you're right, but it's so tempting. I do like combing for getting out the VM matter, though, so I'll stick with the plan I reckon. I also want to try putting less on the combs to help control the process better. Cheers.

Thanks for asking. I'm doing OK today, still stiff and sore in some places but better than yesterday. I'm a firm believer that the worst is always the day after the day after, and I'm already ahead of that schedule. Cheers.

And I'm old enough to remember when you wouldn't do that because you didn't want the other folks on your party line to talk about it.

Same sentiment, but my vocabulary was a little different.

I think we'll both be fine. We've been through a lot together.

Sore but OK, thanks.

Thanks for the comment. Here's the before picture. The staple looks very long, so I reckon I'll comb it and spin from the fold. The time spent getting that County Fair fleece from raw to yarn will likely dwarf the $60. Cheers.

But I think it is in the “Pirates of Penzance.”
