String? OOoohhhhhh Stri-i-i-i-i-i-nnnnggggg

[string]

Yes yes I would (dear Lord what am I saying, where will i put it? when will I WASH it?) I am so glad my parents are accepting of my hobbies.

*string is perfectly calm, but unaccepting of waste*

It's a good thing there is so much space, and water between us or I'd be turning up with a pair of carders, spinning devices and hopeful smile -

The trick is to wash little but often, and sort the fleece into the different qualities and into labled bags - even if it means that you have dozens of little bags it is far less intimidating than fewer large ones.
