How to wash wool with minimal tools - clean wool easy technique

Washing the wool fleece from the previous skirting video

Ombre Grey sheep's fleece from shearing school

Washing in a simple way only using 5 gallon buckets and a strainer. This was a really greasy fleece so I used a degreaser and 9 elements washing liquid. Use what you like, I did find the 9 elemental leaving the wool soft and fluffy with no stickiness that dawn sometimes can leave. Some of the smell from the degreaser stays with the wool so use a scent that you like.
I do 1 wash with the degreaser and soap
1 wash with the soap only then 1 or 2 rinse depending on how dirty the fleece is.

Do not agitate the fiber or it will felt, the finer the fiber the easier the fiber will felt. The higher micro the fiber is the more abuse it can take before felting.
