Wool processing Wednesday: Carding & blending Shetland wool

[@isabellepanier9165]

Hello Kim💖💚💙💜, Hope you're well. I like that Shetland Bamboo blend, just the right amount of shine and it highlights the fleece. I carded some of my brownish fleece , some Ouessant , with some ramie dyed in a raspberry.'s colour. Really like the result. It's fun to try little samples like that. Enjoy your festival, lucky you. See you soon. 🖤💛🧡❤

Gorgeous colors! Love the red, red+ grey, and the shetland mohair with teal bamboo. Nice to hear that at least one of your sheep is growing even better wool with age =). Have a great time at Lambtown! And hope to see some yarn made with the red & grey - will be interesting to see how different people spin it into yarn.

Thank you!

Those new rovings look fabulous! Have you ever done a video on how you dye in the wool? I want to get started, but it seems like all of the resources out there are for yarn.

[@ewethfulfiber]

I just got a request in my Patreon so I'll likely do a workshop there in a month or two. I'll let you know.

@@ewethfulfiber Sounds good! Have fun at Lambtown!

[@kristalburns3490]

What do you do with your samples you spin up? Do you ply them and make some funky yarn out of it?

[@ewethfulfiber]

I generally fill up the bobbin and chain ply it. Mill ends?!

[@LindaKarlinsky]

Have you considered using natural dyes?

[@ewethfulfiber]

I have! Time is something I run short on and natural dyeing needs more than I have right now.
