A whole "Turtle" fleece

This is the entire Jacob lamb fleece I bought at the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival last fall. The sheep's name is Turtle. I plan to spin the colors separately and knit a round yoke sweater with sheep all around it. (Fiber Trends pattern) So far, I have one skein of the brightest, (I carded this with some angora, right), and one skein of medium colored, left. The remainder is the darkest colored and it is all carded and ready to be spun. It's a wonderful, soft fleece and I'm anxious to start knitting with it!

Currently, we're on vacation and I brought tons of knitting projects IP to finish during travel and downtime. What does it mean to spend more time selecting and packing knitting projects for vacation than clothing? And then blog about that rather than vacation? Hmmm...!
