Handspinning

Preparing the fleece for ‘woollen’ spinning is accomplished with hand carders. The following two videos demonstrates how to card the fleece to create ‘rolags’.

Wool Combing is another preparation process that can be undertaken. This method uses ‘pitch’ combs, with one attached to a table and the other doing the work of separating the fibres.

Wool processing can also be done with a drum carder. It can save time as the fleece is carded in larger amounts at one time.
