Ground truth

It's important, I guess, to measure things accurately - my 'time' estimates for a bath based wash had started from putting the first wool into the water.  In reality a cycle begins when the fleece is sorted and divided into 'bag lots', and it ends when the wool is spread out on the drying rack.

So...

The now more accurate time for a complete wash cycle for (approximiately) a pound of wool is 1 hour and 45 minutes start to end.

Once the cycle is underway there are 10 minute gaps while waiting for each 15 minute immersion period to complete so I guess if doing another cycle immediately afterwards I would be preparing the wool for that next load.  Hmmmmnnn...

Can I squeeze it down to 1:30????
