Shearing....the first of many steps |
One option is to take it to a mill. I do sometimes, but only after I've washed and picked it. |
Carding......on a LARGE scale! |
A batt for a quilt. Much larger than I can make at the house. |
If you have been lucky to sleep under a quilt with wool batting, you have been lucky enough!! |
Pindraft.....slender roving |
Bobbins at a commercial mill |
Bobbin on my spinning wheel |
Keeping the wool separated as I spin |
My bobbins for plying |
Yarn that I spun and two-plyed |
With the yarn, knit a scarf. With the batting, felt something! |
