Alice, oh Alice
Meet Alice. Or, more accurately, Alice's fleece. Alice is a cormo and is soft and lovely and a little bit in need of a wash. So I designated Sunday the first of many wash Alice's fleece days. (Basically, I want to stay home and clean Alice but that would interfere with my day job, which I need so I can continue to buy more fleeces like Alice.) Alice's fleece isn't really all that dirty as Alice was covered.
Locks in a "delicates" washing bag just the way I was taught.
Soaking in a scouring liquid of hot, hot tap water and Method dishwashing liquid. When I learned to scour fleece, we used Dawn. I had Method on hand so that's what I used.
Washed locks spread out to dry.
All in all, a good day to wash Alice! (I purchased Alice's fleece from Sue at Cormo Sheep & Wool Farm.)

Alice is beautiful! Sue does have the nicest Cormo fleeces. Umm, that reminds me, I have two CSW fleeces that need to be washed! Yikes!
Oh, the white is glorious!
