I have one Teeswater sheep (bottle raised orphan). I had no clue what to do with his lovely wool when he gets his first shearing this Spring. This was so very helpful, great video!!❤
Hi franziska. thank you for the brilliant video. Can i ask how much you would expect to pay for a full teeswater fleece here in Ireland? and would you be able to share your supplier? id love to buy one this spring.
Hi. No problem. There are Teeswater sheep forums on Facebook. I get my fleece through them. Just ask, and usually someone will have a fleece or two for sale. I hope that helps.
The temperature should be just warm enough that you don't burn yourself. I always think wool is a natural fibre, so if it burn my skin it will also hurt wool. But you can't really go wrong. Sometimes, when you don't want wool to felt to quickly, starting off with just lukewarm water will help. I feel as a general rule, the hotter the quicker it will felt. You will soon figure it out yourself what you prefer. Good luck and enjoy the experience.

That's wonderful. It's a lot of work..........But so nice when you have your own wool.
Your felt art is beautiful!
Thank you so much
SO Helpful! Thank you.
You are welcome.
What a great idea for almost any sheep really..this would be especially great for fine wools like Cormo...thank you!
Absolutely!
loving the Irish accent Franziska
Thankyou. I am having s go now but I cannot seem to shift the muck out the tips
Try to let them in the water for 24 hours. The dirt is very stubborn. Not everything will be completely white.

Franziska, what temperature is your water?
