Could this really be worth it?

I don't think so...

One word describes this "ca-ca"!  The locks don't seem very long, it chock full of VM and filth.  I even went so far as to try washing some of it first thinking it would be easier.  I actually wonder if perhaps this is from the under parts of the sheep as how can a sheep possibly get this nasty?

I'm not really sure if this is worth the trouble.  Please advise. 

The conversation I had with Finn regarding this nasty nightmare is as follows:

Finn: DID YOU KILL A DOG?

Me: No. Why?

Finn: How do you have the dog fur?

Me: It's not from a dog. It's from a sheep.

Finn: Why did you kill a sheep?

Me: I didn't kill a sheep, if I did there'd be more blood, less poo.  The shepherd which is another name for sheep farmer shaved the sheep and gave me his fur which is actually called "wool". 

Finn: Why did the guy shave the sheep? Now the sheep is going to die.

Me: No the shepherd shaves it when it's getting warm out so the sheep would not be hot and it grows back before it gets cold out. 

Finn (with a distrustful look on his face like he thinks I'm certainly telling him a big fat lie as well as killing animals in cold blood to steel their fur): Why do you need that sheep fur for that's "yuck"? (you have no idea kid!)

Me: People spin it on their spinning wheels and make it into yarn so they can do their "needling" (Finn's word for knitting)

Finn: The sheeps gonna die.

This kid will probably  never wear anything I needle for him ever again. He has a point though, the dog fur is definately yuck!
