![Freshly washed sheep fleece drying outside](http://fullyfleeced.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ProcessFleeceDryingClose-300x179.jpg)
Raw fleece can be pretty dirty. Some of what is in the fleece comes from the sheep themselves, like lanolin and suint (sheep sweat). There can be a fair amount of dirt and sometimes some hay/straw that gets tossed around at mealtime. I wash fleece in small batches (about one pound) with a mild detergent and dry them in the sun (when it’s available).
