Carding Wool Batts with Columbia sheep wool
Dec 22, 2023 All about hand spinning yarn, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between. In this episode I walk you step by step from raw wool, through washing wool, dyeing wool, picking and carding wool into batts. I had so much fun designing these wool batts and I am thrilled with how they turned out. I hope this entertains and inspires you as handspinners and wool lovers.
This is a pretty visual episode I as take you inside the mill for most of it. To watch the episode on YouTube follow this link:
