How do you dry wool fleece?

To dry wool fleece, lay it out on a towel after removing as much water as possible.

Here's a more detailed explanation of the drying process:

Preparing the Wool for Drying

Rinsing: Before drying, ensure your wool fleece has been thoroughly rinsed.
Water Removal: After rinsing, it's crucial to remove excess water.
- Spin Cycle: The most efficient method is to use the spin-only cycle of your washing machine to spin out the water. This significantly reduces the drying time.
- Alternative: If you prefer not to use a washing machine, you can squeeze out as much water as possible, but be aware that the drying time will increase.

Once the excess water is removed, follow these steps for drying your wool fleece:

Remove from Bag: Take the wool fleece out of any bag or container it was in.
Lay Flat on Towel: Spread the wool out on a clean towel. Ensure the wool is not clumped together to allow air to circulate and dry all parts evenly.
Air Dry: Let the wool air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources which could damage the fibres.
Turn the Fleece: Turn the fleece periodically to help ensure all sides dry.
