Fleece From Start To Finish

[@deboraharmstrong3002]

The first time I ever washed raw fleece? Put me right off the process for all time. It was a very pretty fleece, once it was all done, but let me tell you, there is nothing like finding almost 50 rehydrated sheep ticks in the wool you're hand picking! The first two I found, I thought they were alive, and screamed like a horror movie victim.

cool..ty for making this bideo..was reading historical fiction and wanted to get an idea of spinning wool so I utilized YT and here you are.

I'm actually so thankful to see all that dirt in your picker. I've wondered sometimes if I get more dirt than I should falling out when I pick (I handpick because I don't have a picker) and card. It's wonderful to know mine are pretty normal. Did you mention what breed that fleece was from? I may have missed it.

Patricia Clark this is a Romney fleece.

[@christianpatriot7439]

Has that initial step, where you go over the fleece by hand, been mechanized any in commercial wool production? I cannot imagine how any commercial sheep farmer or textile mill could pay to process every fleece by hand.

You don't say how hot you have the water? I watched an American video which had the water really hot, which was a surprise! Thank you so much!

Great video, but I wish you would have used a lighter color so we could have seen the carding process better. Thanks for the tutorial. Well done overall.

[@zettakanta8764]

Would you be so kind to share farm details where you got this beautiful fleece?

[@loisbjelke9257]

What brand of skillet is that? I've never seen such a thing. Then again I've never really been in a hospital kitchen. That thing is amazing though.

Thank you for this!

does the lanolin not reattach itself to the fleece if it is left to go cold on the first wash

[@periwinklenewyoutube6373]

sandra shorland , no I don't find that.

[@mariafoley6241]

I tried the hot water and i tried cold water. Made no difference in the end result to me...helps if you put the wool onto a table that has no top but has a screen instead and you hit it till no more dust falls out before washing it at all.

wonderful video .. thanks so much for sharing this ;)

Thank you for your wonderful wool processing video! 😃 Who manufactured your Picker?

[@amiranda365]

That is a Pat Green picker.

[@amiranda365]

What carder is your motorized one? TY!

[@donnavolponi9911]

Can you share your soap recipe?

[@Nightjourney90210]

I know nothing about preparing fleece, but I thought that wet wool felted so easily that simply pushing the wool into the water would cause it to felt. Did it not felt because the water wasn't very hot when you put it in?

[@whereismymind9429]

to wet felt you need to use soap and kinda massage it into flat pieces

[@yravaage3589]

Please: where do you getthat electric carder?
