Hi Mrs L , many thanks for that , and nice to see you back .
Please don't hesitate to mention your own forum , maybe say a bit about it under "useful links " . I don't mind telling other members that if you are who I think you are  you are also a wealth of extremely useful info  .
Pyrennean Mountain Dog , quite a large male . They have a double coat . The inner layer is almost like cotton wool until they shed it ( truer to say you have to drag it out ) at about 18 months . That made up most of the bulk , hence so soft . A friend spun it then MOH knitted it up . |

That sounds lovely: I keep eyeing up our KC spaniel, but he doesn't seem that keen! 
I have now mastered the spinning wheel, so have fleeces coming out of my ears and sheds at the moment. Almost complete my first real garment - a hat in Jacob fleece - so chuffed with that. Aiming for a whole jumper next. I have various bits of rare breed fleece I need to get done too. Almost back to the basics, but am trying to shoehorn a couple of small sheep into the garden............
BTW, yes, I am she................ Always happy to share advice and experience. Nice forum.
