    It fell off right in the middle of a bridge on the geelong ring road..was a hellova mission to recover it..
    And yea.. not a bag of dags, quite nice really.. about 5 or 6 fingers (wide) long.. my phone keeps jamming up when i try to upload images.. i'll do some on computer later..
    Could pretty much start a ugg boot factory :p

    I like the smell of wool... and sheep trucks when they drove past, but I should keep those things to myself.
    I reckon you use it to stuff cushions or your doona to make the Victorian winter that bit warmer.

    You can pick up a spinning wheel for around $60. Also can wash oil off it with your urine. Or ammonia if your lame..
    Cool find though

    I didnt know about ammonia to wash. Thanks.
    It turns out the FLC marking on it doesn't mean fleece..
    It means it isn't any good for spinning.
    makes a good seat however.. and one day i might turn it all into felt :p
