Got a raw fleece from a farmer, fiber festival, or Rebel Stitchers Store? Wondering what to do next? In this video, I’ll show you how to scour wool using my outdoor scouring setup. I’ve processed nearly 100 fleeces from breeds like Alpaca, Angora Goat (Mohair), Babydoll Southdown, Valais Blacknose, and Gulf Coast Native sheep, and I’m here to guide you through the process.
