Shearing to Carding and ready for handspinning. Processing wool from the beginning.

All about hand spinning yarn, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between. Link to the video for this episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/CaJbgkf3KPgThis episode is Shetland on Shetland. I take from shearing to skirting fleeces to scouring the wool, handpicking the wool and finally carding. This was the first time in many years that we have let our Shetlands grow a full year of wool so it was fun to take you all on the processing journey with me.Join Ewethful’s Patreon Communityhttps://www.patreon.com/EwethfulFiberMillFor details and to purchase the online course to  learn to handspin on wheelhttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/pages/lets-make-yarn-landing-pageFor details and to purchase the online course to learn to spin longdrawhttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/products/2256545Shop for Ewethful handspinning fibershttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collectionsFree hand spinning resourceshttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/pages/wool-educationTo shop specific items mentioned in this episodeShetland wool processed in these videoshttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collections/fibers/products/ewethfuls-shetland-wool-rovingSweater I am wearingPattern: CalliopeDesigner: Espace TricotYarns I am using for my Calliopehttps://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/calliope-13Sincere Sheep Fingering Cormo shown in vloghttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collections/other-u-s-milled-yarns/products/sincere-sheep-cormo-fingering-weight-yarnEwetopia Mohair/Silk yarns shown in vloghttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collections/other-u-s-milled-yarns/products/mohair-silk-lace-weight-ewetopia-yarnCollaboration with Revolution Fibers – but a spinning wheel and get my beginner’s online course free!https://revolutionfibers.com/pages/learn-to-spin-with-ewethful-fiber-farm-mill-revolution-fibers?_pos=1&_psq=ewe&_ss=e&_v=1.0&utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Intro%20Wheel%20and%20Ewethful%20Course%20Deal%20-%20%203%2F28%20%282024-03-28%29&utm_id=01HT0E4YAME3P6TQY6B761M11R&utm_term=Choose%20Your%20Wheel%20%26%20Learn%20Free%20%E2%9E%9C&utm_content=Choose%20Your%20Wheel%20%26%20Learn%20Free%20%E2%9E%9C&_kx=FdoZdtXesFj5yoGVuxOIt0KOtoMU25aKI4tACM0IBLutQXuZU2GdDXQbk5xUDA0k.T4GFipMission at Ewethful: My mission at Ewethful Fiber Mill is to fill making hands with small batch American grown yarns and fibers.
