My mother is (was) a country girl through and through. She could hand shear a sheep and because we used to run a fine wool growing operation, I got to watch her do absolutely everything - washing; carding; the lot, right through to the finished product. Before she passed, she was still doing the same process for her grandchildren. I miss my mum...

In this high speed, high tech world we now live in, it’s great to see there are still some true artisans out there. It’s a shame more people don’t get involved. As a crocheter I’ve never bought or used wool like this. I’m sure I’m going to try it in the immediate future. Keep up the good work ladies. 👏👏👏❤️

Yes try hand spun yarn. It is softer, lighter in weight and warmer, than the commercial. I dont know how the commercial process reduces the positive characteristics of wool. Although dye of coures fills to a certain extent the air pockets in between the fibres there by reducing the yarns ability to retain body heat

The word "carding" comes from the latin "cardus" meaning thistle, because of the sharp points used for doing it. Originally, the hand-held "cards," used thorns backed with leather. Wool processing has such a deep, rich history.

The genus name of some thistles is Carduus but the plant used for raising the nap on wool was another genus entirely. Dipsacus fullonum is the name for fuller’s teasel. They all look like thistles
@PonderingStudent 5 ай бұрын
@@dancingnature I was referring to the cards, used for combing and smoothing out the raw wool before spinning, rather than the teasel used for raising the nap on the wool, which is a process done after the wool has been spun and woven into cloth. They are two different processes. The use of "carduus" in the latin name of some thistles came later than the latin word "cardus," which means, generically, thistle and, by extension, spiky. Modern taxonomy using binomial names wasn't conceived until the 18th century, and the first scientists to apply these names usually used preexisting Latin or Greek words for the species names. These could be the Latin or Greek colloquial names, where they existed, or simply translated descriptors. Cardus was used as a genus name because it was the Latin word for thistle. Fuller's teasel was named such because it was used for fulling.

They upgraded to larger equipment now that they process for multiple farms in the area. We are still another 2 years from our retirement and hobby farm, but being able to watch this has helped me see the process with English instructions!

There are nearly as many methods of preparing fibre for spinning as there are spinners. If you want smoother batts, or easier-to-prep hand-carded rolags, you may find that 'less is more'. Loading too much fibre, too quickly, onto your equipment may take less time, but it can be harder on both your body and the tools. I find the resulting preparation is less enjoyable to spin, and harder to control. It looks like you're having a grand time learning what works for you, so I encourage you to keep exploring.

Its just my husband and I to manage our 26 sheep & 5 llamas. But playing with fiber is so satisfying. There aren't enough local mills, so knowing how to do this process at home is valuable. I like that you demonstrate the basics in a confident homey way. Makes me feel better about my own makeshift processing tools, like saving laundry detergent buckets. We have a large handmade wooden square with a heavy metal screen that was originally created to screen rocks from garden soil. I use it now to lay my fleeces down upon when skirting. Lots of dirt and small bits fall through. I can sit comfortably and pick through quickly.

I love that this is done at home, on a kitchen counter with bonus cats. Now I wish I knew how to knit and finish a product all the way through to wearing (unlike my mother who started many, many projects but never finished). She went on to quilting (which I have no interest in - sorry, know that’s blasphemy to some). And Thanks for the out-takes!!

If you add a bit of salt to your soaking fleece, you get a lot more lanolin extracted (which reduces odor as well as your mechanical effort). Instead of skimming, you could just boil off most of the water in a crockpot on high over the course of a day or so (faster on a stovetop of course, but this method is more hands-off), and then put it somewhere to cool and solidify like fat off the top of a stew.

I grew up in West Yorkshire which used to be the centre of the English woollen industry. There was a woollen mill in my small town, and when I was about 10 my class went on a visit to see the whole process. It started with the arrival of the fleeces straight from the shearers through washing and combing to remove all the dirt and grease, to spinning ind dyeing and right through to weaving and finishing. It was fascinating.

I think two things that could make your setup easier to manage and clean would be a car washing "grit guard" .... In car washing, it basically takes all of the debris that comes off of the vehicle wash sponge, and drops it down underneath the water to a part where it separates dirt from the clean water and lets the sediment filter out, and holds the sponge (in your case, fleece) up in the clean sediment-free area... Look at the brand chemicalguys. Another thing that might help is a rotary mop head spinner, like the O-Cedar EasyWring RinseClean. It uses a foot pedal and spins in a circle, using centrifugal forces to wring out the water.... give it a try!

Love the layout of the kitchen! I too have a black cat, his name is Lotus, but I call him Lo Lo. I've always wondered about how to process wool. I'm 67 and my granny that lived in Alabama taught me how to card cotton from the field when I was 9 years old. We used the hand carder. Thanks for this video.

This was such a pleasure to watch, especially the bloopers! Thanks for being so, real I guess would be the right word. I loved seeing that! None of us are perfect that is for sure and I don't care for it when people try to put themselves out there on social media like they are perfect. Anyway, I loved learning all of this. I had heard all of these terms and seen these things before, except the drum carder, but I never knew how they worked and I surely never saw ALL the love and care and labor that goes into making a skein of yarn. It gives me a whole new appreciation for a fiber I already love, and yes, I was one of the ones who raised my hand at being addicted to yarn 🙋🏼♀️🧶. Especially for all the smaller companies and family owned yarn sellers. Thank you, for all you do and for letting us be a fly on the wall to watch what really goes into our yarn. 🕊️❤️🕯️🧶

I have been knitting and crocheting for years and have never seen this process before. It is so interesting and now know why the fluctuations in cost. Loved every minute if this video. On average how long does this whole process take minus shearing of course, from start to finish? Again loved it! Blessings from MN 💗

With drying times I would say one week, of course spining can extend this time depending on skill level.

Wow, I had a faint idea of how the wool was treated as my mother (+) told us she used to do it. It is a lot of work and you do it with such gusto, congratulations!
@The10AcreWoods 10 ай бұрын
Yep alot of work but so satisfying to be able to process your own and then create with it.
@openorwap5412 8 ай бұрын
This is so interesting! What a wonderful thing to do together as a family, too. I'm only a year into crochet, so to see the process of how natural wool is made into usable skeins/balls is fascinating. Thank you all for your hard work 😊🧶🐑
