Skirting Fleeces

We are having the best weather to skirt fleeces outside. I’ve skirted two fleeces so far. I love to get my hands on them as they tell a year long story in my sheep’s life. You can monitor the animals health by the quality of wool. Is it soft, springy and uniform? Or is it course, brittle, matted or full of vegetative matter? Lucky for me her fleece is beautiful.
