loads of new rug weaving fiber

A couple years ago I bought about 50lb (?, it may have been more) of karakul fleeces for a good price from a customer at the mill. These fleeces sat in bags, first in the greenhouse and then in the attic of the mill, for a long time. I felt guilty every time I saw the pile, unused. When I left the mill I finally took the plunge and asked to have alot of it processed into roving for handspinning and a small amount into yarn for rug warp. Well yesterday I picked it all up and yikes there is alot of spinning to do. So I have decided to set myself a goal of spinning all the rug wool by the end of the summer. I think if I spin it all up first before committed to a project I might have an easier (less stressful) time of working with the finished yarn. We'll see.
