This morning I brought out Somemore' bag of fleece and washed up 18 locks of fleece. They are now in the drying stage. Then I took the 16 locks that I washed yesterday and wanted to see what they weighted before carding. They weighted 5/8 ounces before carding, but after I carded all 16 locks, the batt weighted 3/4 ounces.

This is what the locks looked like after I carded them into a batt. Then I just couldn't resist sitting at my spinning wheel and spinning up this batt.






This is what the first batt looks like all spun up. You can see just how thin my yarn was spun, by looking at the penny.
