This was my first attempt and success at spinning a fleece all the way through without stopping and knitting yarn until I ran out and needed more for a project. It took me two weeks of spinning to achieve spinning all of Lulu's fleece. The yarn weighed in at a little more than 3 lb, which is good considering she was sheared before she had a full year's of growth on her. I'm thinking of experimenting on making a Jacob vest :). Her fleece is definitely my favorite of the adult ewes with a super soft feel and awesome crimp. On another note, this weekend I went to the local 4-H Spring Show where people now recognize the Jacob. Two years ago when I started showing Jacob sheep, nobody knew what these strange "goats" were. Now after many local shows and educational fliers, everybody sees our Jacobs and knows what breed and all kinds of information about them. They even had a judge that knows Jacobs!
