Swaledale fleece - to dye or not to dye that is the question

Swaledale fleece, washed, carded, spun and plied
Not much blogging but plenty of slogging away lately on the the two unwashed fleeces a brought home from the Yorkshire Dales last year. Finally its all been sorted, washed and the first 150 gms have been carded, spun, plied and washed again.
Now: to dye or not to dye, that is a question still unresolved.

The wool is lovely as it is; a little harsh in places maybe and neither carded or spun to perfection but quite unique and all my own work.
