Sheep to shawl

I am right this very minute beginning the first wash of my pound of Gracie's fleece. I cranked up my water heater as high as it will go, filled the tub of the washer, added the Dawn and dunked two bags of wool into the hot water. Now I wait.

I made the washing bags out of pink tulle that I purchased for a tutu that was never made. I sewed up three sides of a square, put the wool in it and basted the fourth side shut.
