All done! Is it felted? I don't know. Here's pics of the fleece after 3 hot water soaks, 3 Dawn soaks, 1 vinegar soak, and 1 conditioner soak (I know, too much, but that's how it worked out):

Melody Pictures Dorset Merino Mix Fleece

This is Melody. She is a Dorset / Merino Mix.

I don't know what to call this side, so I just called it "bottom" and then later I'll take pics of the other side and call it "top." I've numbered the areas so they are seen better up close.

#1 with the star is at the top
#2 with the circle is the right side
#3 with the cross is the bottom
#4 with the diamond is the left side.

Alright wool people. I need your help figuring out what is good and what is trash.
