Thank you. I have 30 fleeces to skirt and wash. I wasn’t sure how to efficiently do this. I did one in the house tonight and I’m don’t think I got all the soap out. So I’m guessing I’ll have to rinse again after it’s dry. I found this video first, but am going to go find your other videos to make sure I’m efficient in all my other steps. I did make some mistakes on my first fleece. But I’d have been surprised if I didn’t.
Lol, Yes if it's super greasy you might have to open up the locks in between every wash that way you can get the soap in there to do it's job! Good luck 🙂
Great idea with the check list! I soak my alpaca right in the washer as no lanolin. I also spin after the wash and rinse. I have never had a fleece felt. Great video!
Thanks for sharing. If you're on septic, how do you suggest disposing of the waste water? We are considering adding a separate wash area and we're wondering if a dry well might be a good option for the gray water.
I'm not the expert to ask I would say you need a grease trap and some kind of leach field. Talk to someone that would design septic systems and stuff like that they would know how to do that.
My favorite washing machine old-fashioned that had just spin cycle on it died I’ve been looking for a new one I have the perfect sink for this just gotta figure out how to drain it outside it’s a long ways from my sink to the garage door lol
Try and fit a hose to the bottom of the drain. It may take some creativity and it won't be pretty, but it may work. You can raise the sink on bed raisers if you need more height. Good luck McGiver! (Not sure I spelled that right but you get the idea lol😅)
I've washed two fleeces so far but never knew about opening up the fibers beforehand. Did I understand you right that you could still comb the fibers if you open it up like that first? Thanks for sharing your expertise!
I'm not a combing pro (just carding,lol), however as long as you Don't care that they're combed in different directions I don't think it would be a big deal and it would work. I'm pretty sure people just put fiber on their combs and start pulling it. If you're looking to keep the locks as locks then you'll definitely have to do something different
@@kingdomfleeceandfiberworks5897 thank you! I’m new to it all. I just got combs and I’ve had a carder for a while. I don’t think it care which direction they end up, but I know some people do. I’ll have to experiment and see.

Why can't you use a front load spin cycle?
From what I've heard it's way to much agitation and will felt the fiber
I can't hear you.
