I did misspeak. It’s a drum carder, there is also a hand carder which looks much more difficult. 😂

"From baa to beanie" adorable 😍 💕

Seeing these "behind the sheeps" vids makes me feels like I'm watching the prequel.

One of my ancestors who came to America in the 1600s was the very first weaver in East Hampton. Part of East Hampton park was his land. He made and dyed fabrics. I can imagine them doing this.

I just watched a commercial wool processing video and it made me cry. The way they treated the animals was horrible. Thank you for the care you put in to taking care of these animals. 💕

My kids and I took a wool spinning class when they were young. It was really cool, they carded the wool, spun the yarn, dyed it with various techniques and then knitted or wove it into something simple

SO SO HAPPY to finally see this part of the process!! I hope you continue to share more about sheep and wool that are affected by your shearing!

Yay! Thank you so much for this! I've been wondering how it goes from sheep to yarn. Now I know, though I'm ready for even more details.

We still have my great grandma's, she passed about two years ago, Spinning Wheel and other knitting/threading set that she use to use when she use to make bridal gowns during her time. I love watching how people make such raw material into something we use.

If you're interested in this process check out the book "Vanishing Fleece" by Clara Parkes. The audiobook is excellent. It's non-fiction but the author has a real flair for narrative that makes it a really enjoyable read.

I know this as a knitter, weaver, and yarn store owner. But 99% of people don’t have a clue. So I am always so happy when you teach the viewers about skirting, and carding, and roving, and spinning, etc. it creates so much respect for the craftsmanship of others as well as respect for the sheep and llamas and alpacas, etc. Thank you for your wonderful work and equally wonderful commentaries.

This is great! I've been wondering for a long time what happens after you finish. Thanks for shearing--er, sharing!

I am one of those that is blessed by the arts and crafts, I use wool for needle felting. I buy it carded wool. I also buy felt and curly wool. The joy it brings me I'd just like to say thank you to all involved in providing me with the fantastic fiber. I love watching what you post which also helps with the chronic pain syndrome. So therapeutic watching the shearing. I am telling you this just so you know all your filming and editing is very much appreciated. The best ones are the ones that look like they been through a mangle and then you shear them and they look like utter class as they trot off. Thanks once again for the great content and best wishes from the UK.

Thank you for making this! I’ve been curious. Would be really interesting to see the detailed processes after shearing (although I understand you are a shearer!), thank you so much 😊

What I love MOST about this is the care factor treatment to the sheep, showing that the rough handling and numbers of nicks and cuts should NOT happen, thank you 😊

As someone who crochets, I found it quite satisfying to see the process of making the material I use for my projects.

This was excellent, so much information packed into exactly one minute. I'm not quite sure how I discovered you - the mysteries of the algorithms, but I've been following you for several months now and enjoy everything you upload. Who knew that shearing was so fascinating!

This is the video I wanted the most!! Thank you!! You're awesome!! Keep on rockin!!

Thank you for drawing us into some of the post-shearing process. We've always been curious about it! 😊

So very happy to see the HOW part of what you do. Thank you so much 💓

I really needed to see the skirting table! I have sheep AND all of the stuff to do the wool, but haven't quite figured out how to skirt it all this is a life saver, thank you for sharing!

I've never appreciated my wool yarns more. Thanks for giving insight!

These videos make me feel sm better ab wearing wool. It looks so freeing I can’t imagine how much relief they get

Thank you Right Choice Sheering for showing other aspects other than just sheering sheeps wool. Keep them coming!

Beautiful fleece! When you pull off fiber from a drum carder, the big "sheet" is also called a batt. Or you can use a diz (just something with a hole drilled in it that you pull the fleece through) to become the roving :)

I been curious about all this, so thank you once again for the Edutainment!

This is brilliant and also makes me realise why wool yarn is so expensive. I'd love to use it but I'm allergic to sheep so I get really itchy when I do. However I really appreciate the amount of work that goes into actually creating the yarn

Merino sheep... I insulated my camping van with that.. So cool you showed what happens with the wool after you're done with it... Years ago I used to use the old carding method like you're talking about and spin the wool with a small spindle.. the new Machinery looks really cool.. Glad you're showing people how they eventually get their sweaters and scarves💖l

Man when they made me do hand carding in school, it was literally two handheld cards with bristles. I'd have killed for the wheels

As an avid crocheter, this is absolutely awesome.

Your voice is so oddly satisfying, it tickles my ear in just the right way. Also, now I want to keep sheep lol.

Thank you!!! It was fun seeing what happens after you've shorn these sweet babies!! I absolutely love this channel!!

Thank you, I didn’t know it went through all of this.

I love that you showed us this, I've been wondering. Now back to watching the shearing lol.

Hahaha! Finally! I learned a song in early grade school that made zero sense until today when I finally know what "carding" is! "Tell mother dear we're carding today..." I was literally singing the song just yesterday and still didn't know what I was talking about! Talk about ironic! Thank you!

Great video. As a crochet/knitter I appreciate all the effort that goes into producing a natural fiber. That's why I save up for gorgeous yarn.

im so glad you made this, I've been curious!!

I bought a pound of wool off my teacher and this helped me a lot I had no idea what to do with it 😂

Nice to see this explained. My mom is a weaver and has participated in many “sheep to shawl” competitions over the years. She still has an antique spinning wheel although it doesn’t get used as much as the modern one.

I love that you take the time to educate your viewers without talking down to anyone!

My mom knits and I think you two would have a bleatfully good time talking about wool, roving, knitting, and all that fun stuff 🐑 (pun intended :3 )

Thank you for this video. Love seeing this to this!

I subscribed to your channel because I love you I love you and your wife I love what you do when I watch what you do it is the most calming thing. I have anxiety and depression, so when I find such a kind soul I subscribe. But what you’ve just done in this video it’s something that I’ve been curious about since I subscribed. I also have memory care in my life so if you wanna add to this story and reiterate it throughout your filming, it would be exactly what I hope for. Stay cool Gurl!

Wool is like the comfiest fabric in existence. They just feel so warm and soft. Those fleece already gives me the feel of sleeping.

I have locs and I used roving to color them (like they're dyed). Super cool seeing how it's made!

So many people talking about how cruel the thing we have been doing for millions of years is and are just going round harassing creators for having a job that involves animals

Awesome job explaining this , and showing all the hard work going into wool .

The yarn looks beautiful and thank you for showing us the process after the shearing . It is wonderful to see how much you appreciate the animals you are shearing .

Yess I've been waiting for this part lol mas I'm just now seeing it lol

Wow! Thanks a ton for sharing that! I've worked with yarn for years and oddly have never looked into how it's made. Very cool.

You know...I have been watching you for a long time... and I love that you took it a step deeper for me! I love it... somehow it relaxes me, thank you!

I've enjoyed your videos for a long time. Thanks for the education on how the wool is actually processed.

I do medieval reenactment and I've spent whole afternoons with hand carders and spinners aligning fibres and then making threads. It's so calming!

I started knitting a while ago and always wondered How people managed to get the wool to turn into actual yarn. I'm so happy I stumbled into this vid lol

I love knitting so seeing wool yarns getting made makes me so happy 😊 especially when you know it's also comfortable for the sheep!

Fyi for anyone wondering: hand carding is 2 wide paddle brushes you scrape against each other. In her vid clip: drum carding or wheel carding. More effective and less irritation. If you have rage to get out, hand card. If you need it done fairly quickly and are just tired, drum.

Thank you for doing this!!!! I love seeing all the love and hard work!

I’m one of those falling out of love with views I’m beginning to see as… Well shortsighted. Ignoring or just not not knowing the foundations of what we find around us. Or worse lying about it. You however are the opposite of that. You remind me of how stewardship of our world can be. And how we can let go of many old harshnesses founded in ignorance, while accepting and maintaining certain understandings of the world that is born new, every generation. Regardless of us, it will be again. And in my estimation you show a persistence and Wisdom in taking it up. Taking the guiding and work of it’s necessity. Because someone must. That’s the values of the image of the shepherd of old. If you ignore certain dogma, you hold forth a the heart of that standard. And that is… More valuable than all the shrieking of anyone claiming to know truth in this age. So thank you.

I'm in the middle of spinning some merino into yarn for a baby blanket right now. This is so satisfying. Thank you for all the love you put into your work 💚

I've been waiting for this! THANK YOU! I needed to know why you had to keep the shear in one piece. I LOVE your videos. 🐑🦙

Tx for posting this. It is really nice knowing the next stage of the process. You do a GREAT job shearing the sheep, etc.!!

Thank you for this! It's always interesting to see the next few processes from beginning to end.

I spent my lockdown learning to spin wool and make felt. I love wool crafting and cherish the wisdom of this ancient art.

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping you would post...I wondered what happened to that lovely fleece after your shearing Thank you

Love your Effort. Love your Educating. Love your Work! Hope it's worth it! Don't Stop!!!

Thanks for this. I was wondering about this and you answered all questions in a minute. Amazing.

I was a weaver for many years. I had a handmade spinning wheel and spun my own yarn. This was in the 1970s - my hippie days!! I wove beautiful ruanas on my hand made looms made by Bill Walling, and learned to weave from my teacher Marie Walling. Loved the world of spinning and weaving for many years!!! Also became a basket weaver and loved that too!!!❤

i work in a wool plant and i often fix those carding machines!! they are MASSIVE! the amount of wool they can process is incredible, and they output a fine, delicate string of aligned fibre that goes to another machine to be spun. (i work on all the machines in the factory but the carding machines are def the coolest!)

I learned about this in history class. Everything was explained and we also went to a museum to see how they did this. If you have children, definitely take them to interactive museums like these. If you're an adult, go as well. It's tons of fun and very educational.

Love the crank carder! Back in the 70’s I learnt to hand card with two paddles.

My aunt has alpacas, and she showed me tgis process about a year ago when I was visiting. She even taught me how to spin yarn, which turned out pretty ok for my first time haha. I now have a little ball of yarn sitting in my desk drawer as a keepsake.

My Mom still does what is called 'sheep to shawl'. She does every step . . . Including shearing the sheep. She uses a spinning wheel, but much prefers her drop spindle. Thanks for showing the process! You are so amazing at what you do and the way you educate people.

Nice idea for a video. I used to go to county fairs and such demonstrating carding while my mom, a sheep hobbyist, demonstrated spinning on a wheel. I got alot of questions about how wool becomes sweaters, and most common question was why the "cotton was not white?" It was fun to explain, and to give kids a small ball of wool to take home. I still have the itch to get a drum carder and drop spindle, it's a very practical skill.

Wool keeps a person sooooo warm! It is a miracle material! Thank you sheep!

I love that I learn while enjoying your content! Thank you.

Awwwe. Left out the spinning wheel. That's the most relaxing part. Also drop spindle. Very relaxing . I love spinning wool

I would love to do all this by hand. I crochet and I know sheep farmers so I've always been interested in giving it a try. Thanks for reigniting this interest.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video with us all as a crocheter I was keen to know as to how a wool is made so thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this..I really enjoy your videos. I would like to see this as a regular TV show on TLC.

Thanks for sharing the process. I always wondered what the initial steps were in creating the wool yarn

I've actually worked a spindle as a kid. I was pretty good at it. It's really easy to understand how the fibers cling together once your own hair gets long enough for you to wake up with knots in it.

This is childhood happy vibes. My father's mother's brother had a little farm next door to my father's mother. I remember my pride when I was allowed to help bottle-feed a little lamb. Every year, after shearing, my father's mother served a special cake. We used to go out to the sheep, thank them for the wool, and give them some shhep-adapted "candy". I was always told it was important to thank the sheep for their gifts to us. Don't know if that's a tradition in the rest of the world. But helping with everything always gave me a sense of pride and belonging. Happy days! Edit: I love English, but expressing relatives need a make-over. Much more precise in Swedish.

Thankyou for explaining the process, I always wondered how wool skeins were made

My aunt raised alpacas and sheep for years. She spun her own wool and sold it to people all over the world and of course used it herself to make beautiful pieces. I love how she treasures the yarn and knows from which animal it came. She has a special blanket in process which will have wool from each of her beloved animals! Love your videos!

Yes wonderful. In the fith grade they showed us how to clean it only through carting. Never wet it before yarning.

THANK YOU!! 🐑🐏 I have been wondering about the rest of the process since watching your vids. I really appreciated this!

This is so cool! As a fiber craft obsessed millennial, I’m so interested in this process!

I can't wait to show this to my granddaughters! I've always wondered how it all happened. I knew part of it, but no it all, so this was extremely cool to watch. Thank you!!!!

One of the few videos I didn't need to watch to know all about; my mom has been spinning wool for years and I've been lucky to see it all through the process.

My mom spins yarn from fleeces she gets. The hand carder brought back memories of late nights with her watching tv as she spun the yarn and I cleaned the wool and made the roving.

Thank you for your videos. Enjoy watching them and listening to the history of the animals and this video with explanation of the process.

Thank you for explaining this. I always wondered how the wool was handled.

I’m a spinner and have always admired how carefully you handle the fleece!

It’s so awesome that you are showing this most people don’t know anything about these old crafts

Thank you for sharing the processing from fleece to yarn. So cool.

Love the education!! Now we can see why yarn from real wool is expensive

There's just something about bald sheep that just make me giggle. They're so cute.

We’re planning on getting our first sheep in the spring and this was so cool to see! I’m hoping to find somewhere I can send our wool to be made into yarn as I am also practicing crochet😊

Thank you for sharing this, I’ve been waiting for you to touch on it!

Now iknow where my yarn comes from. Thank you so much. I appreciate my yarn more
