Fleeces to process

Making an impromptu list for myself of fleeces I still need to process/finish processing [edited April 11, 2007 to add more info on each fleece]:

*white Columbia - Zeneta Crawford, sheep Star - about 1 lb., 7 oz. (x 2?) [all washed; some of it needs re-washing; re-washed mid-March 2008]
*white Romney/Dorset/Rambouillet(?) - Misty Chandler, Desired Haven Farm, sheep Chloe - 1 lb. [washed April 13, 2007]
*black Romney/Dorset/Rambouillet(?) - Misty Chandler, Desired Haven Farm, sheep Maggie - 1 lb. [washed April 16, 2007]
*white unidentified donated wool - mailing list member donation
*last bits of grey Cotswold - from mabs on eBay [came washed]
*dark fawn Huacaya alpaca blanket - from Hideaway Alpacas on eBay, (male) alpaca Tahoe - 1 lb.
*Huacaya alpaca - from Hideaway Alpacas on eBay, alpaca Dream Maker -
*white Huacaya alpaca, blanket (31 microns) - eBay seller alangel4, alpaca Natalia - 1 lb. 8 oz.
*tan llama - Harold and Bonnie Davis - 2 lbs. [washed March 22, 2008]
*white Corriedale - Harold and Bonnie Davis - 4.5 lbs. [2.8 pounds washed April 20, 2007; I think the rest of this got washed on the Monday after, and then I re-washed some of it in mid-March 2008 because it still felt stickyish]
*white Columbia - Harold and Bonnie Davis - 4.5 lbs.
*white Shetland - Harold and Bonnie Davis - 3.5 lbs.
*white Merino x ewe - hoggett - Nancy Barnett, sheep Sissy - 5 lbs.

(Bold = still needs washing; italics = still needs processing into batts, roving, or top)

I did go a bit fleece-crazy this season, but hey, at least I won't run out of wool any time soon ... as long as (here's crossing my fingers that) this stuff hasn't randomly been attacked by the little ants that wander around here and occasionally appear in cardboard boxes. ;) I'll figure it out eventually...

Received the puzzle swap pieces from Anne at Eccentric Pastiche today. Must add that to list of arty things to work on...
