KnitWit 100: Processing Wool for Spinning




Rantings of a Rabid Knitter show

Summary: This weeks show is a long, some what rambling, discussion of how to prepare wool for spinning. This is the video of the demo of using a picker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdEbEZq8vSg). Here is a picture of some of the tools used in the processing: a flicker, cards, and combs. Some wool at different stages: picked, roving, and combed top. Finally some yarn spun from different preparations. The dark brown was spun in the grease. The orange-red is woolen spun from roving. The blue sock yarn is spun worsted from merino top. Any questions or comments? I would love to hear from you. website: autumnbreezedesigns.com email: carry.autumnbreeze@gmail.com ravelry: autumnbreeze Thanks. Carry P.S.
