My first fleece!

Well, it's not here yet. I put a deposit on half of a cormo sheep fleece from Sue at Cormo farms:

She is going to split either Gus's or Glory's fleece for me, and I will pick it up on July 19th at Dixon Lambtown USA.

I am so nervous! It will be skirted, which means the nasty poopy bits and the coarser leg wool will have been removed, but this will be my first try at getting raw wool from a sheep turned into fiber for spinning. *Biting my nails*
Sue and her fleeces have gotten rave reviews on Ravelry and from others on the web. I can't wait! I'll keep you all posted.

If I wimp out and send it off to be processed, I plan to send it to:
