Guess who this is!
I've been spinning for an exchange project and the fiber is pretty and super soft, but with just enough of dryer lint feel to make me crazy. I'm a coarse wool girl through and through and needed a break. This fleece is exactly what I'd hoped it would be :-).
If you'd like to know what this feels like, put a good squirt of dish soap in your kitchen sink, hit it with the spray nozzle and hot water. When you pat/squish down on the big peaks of bubbles...that's exactly what it feels like to pat/squish down on Maisie's combed wool.
I left this picture file size a bit larger so you could biggify it.

Oh. My. Gosh. It is absolutely beautiful!!! Wish I could knit some of that up.
Your name should be "Mary"... ;)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is some pretty spinning! Lovely wool, but crappy spinning can make the best stuff look mediocre. Great fiber and great spinning equals top-notch yarn! Can't wait to see what it's going to grow up to be ;-)
.....and it sparkles!
She puts her "crazy" energy into lovely fleece. Or maybe the energy she should put into being a normal sheep she puts into her fleece instead?
Beautiful! All you hoped for.
And some very nice spinning, too :-)
I knew it was Maisie!:-) Any recent picture of the propeller girl to share here or on Twitter?!
Fishing lures? lol.
Remind us what breed Maisie is. Pretty please....
Shotgun shells????? LOL. Good job with the combs, looks soooo soft and clean.
How beautiful! Just lovely. Blessings and sunshine, Valerie
When I said "Guess", I said, "Maisie". What do I win?
Finally...a post on the lovely Maisie...the one and only
:-)
lovely
Oooooooo! It looks dreamy.
It's beautiful!
That looks like heaven!!
Sweet, sweet Maisie. I still look at her slideshow pics, on the sidebar, from time to time. Precious!
In response to your comment the other day, I have noticed more bumblebees this season. I have three hives going at this time and still see quite a bit of honeybee action.
Whoa....NICE!!!
Maisie is a Dorset crossed with who knows what mutt :-).
I took some propeller pics the other day, but didn't catch the propeller in the right flight pattern.
Getting ready to do a giveaway next week :-D.
You did a beautiful job bringing out the best in Maisie. Her wool is so put and bright!
The shot gun shells she was hiding makes me wonder what kinda company she's been keeping at night. Maybe her idol is Annie Oakley!
Yum!! And your spinning is gorgeous.
Beautiful fleece & yarn.
But of course!
There is not one thing I could add to all the great comments except she is the result of all the wonderful, most excellent, care you gave her! Good job on the combing and spinning...OK 'they' already said that but I just had to say it again!
It's just amazing that one day the wool is still part of the sheep and the next day it could be made into yarn.
Nice job Maisie!!! Worth all the work :)
Beautiful..of course it is Maisie:)
Beautiful spinning! You found your "super-power"!
