Yesterday I attended the Aurora Colony Spinners' Fiber Show and purchased a fleece.
If one is going to document the cost of stash-building, time and expense of spinning yarn "from scratch" must be recorded, starting with newly sheared wool and working through to finished yarn.
On the non-recordable side, I have to say that buying a fleece is one of my favorite parts of yarn-making. I find the lushness of newly-shorn locks quite exciting, even though they are in desperate need of a good wash!
